Statement of Significance
NOW DEMOLISHED
The duplex at 34 Scallan Street, Stawell, has significance as a reasonably intact example of a rudimentary Victorian style residence. This building was possibly constructed at the height of the gold rush in the 1860s or 1870s and it appears to be been in good-fair condition when viewed from the street.
The duplex at 34 Scallan Street is architecturally significant at a LOCAL level. Although slightly altered, it demonstrates original design qualities of a rudimentary Victorian style. These qualities include the hipped roof form that traverses the site, rendered brick wall construction, galvanised corrugated iron roof cladding, two centrally-located brick chimneys with projecting cappings and the narrow eaves. Other intact or appropriate qualities include the symmetrical composition, single storey height, shallow-arched window and door heads, timber framed double hung windows and the timber framed door openings with sidelights and highlights. The evidence of the previous front verandah also contributes to the significance of the place.
The duplex at 34 Scallan Street is historically significant at a LOCAL level. It is associated with residential developments in Stawell, possibly in the 1860s or 1870s when residential accommodation was at a premium.
Overall, the duplex at 34 Scallan Street is of LOCAL significance.

House, 34 Scallan Street, STAWELL - Physical Description 1
The duplex at 34 Scallan Street, Stawell, has a modest front setback and narrow side setbacks. It has no front garden, and the front boundary is marked by an introduced open concrete block fence with painted brick piers.
The symmetrical, single storey, rendered brick, rudimentary Victorian styled duplex is characterised by a hipped roof form that traverses the site. It has early galvanised corrugated iron roof in fair-poor condition, and two early centrally-located brick chimneys with projecting cappings. Narrow overhangs are features of the eaves.
The symmetry of the design is accentuated by the early centrally positioned door openings with flanking timber framed double hung windows. These door entrances have early timber frames, sidelights and highlights, with introduced screen doors. The shallow arched heads to the window and door openings are also early.
There is evidence of an early front verandah in the timber strip that runs along the width of the building above the openings.
