Statement of Significance
"Cannum", 17 Childe Street, Stawell, has significance as a moderately intact example of a Late Victorian/Edwardian style. Although no historical details have been ascertained, the design suggests that it was constructed in the late 19th or early 20th century. The house appears to have experienced some alterations, with the lack of chimney/s near the front and the cast iron verandah valance, while appropriate, may have been introduced. The house appears to be in good condition when viewed from the street.
"Cannum", 17 Childe Street is historically and architecturally significant at a LOCAL level.It is associated with residential developments in Stawell in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The house also demonstrates some original design qualities of a Late Victorian/Edwardian style. These qualities include the recessive hipped roof form that traverses the site, together with the minor hip that projects towards the street frontage and the return bullnosed verandah that projects at the front and side.

House, "Cannum", 17 Childe Street, STAWELL - Physical Description 1
"Cannum", 17 Childe Street, Stawell is set on a corner allotment and has modest setbacks to the street frontages. These setback consist of open grassed areas and perimeter garden beds, with some shrubbery. The front is bound by an introduced hollow tubular steel and cyclone wire fence, approximately 1200 mm high.
The asymmetrical, single storey, horizontal timber weatherboard, Late Victorian/Edwardian styled house is characterised by a recessive hipped roof form that traverses the site, together with a minor hip that projects towards the street frontage. There is also a return bullnosed verandah. These roof forms are clad in galvanised corrugated steel painted in deep red. Narrow overhangs with paired timber brackets, panelling and paterae are features of the eaves. There appears to be a brick chimney towards the rear.
A feature of the design is the return verandah. It is supported by stop chamfered timber columns with projecting moulded timber capitals and is adorned by cast iron valances and brackets that may have been recently introduced.
Early features of the design include the tripartite timber framed double hung windows, and the four panelled timber door with sidelights and highlight. The window hood above the window on the projecting hipped roof may have been introduced.Heritage Study and Grading
