Statement of Significance
The Former Stawell Coach Factory, 6 Scotland Place has significance as a reasonably externally intact and rare surviving example of a large Victorian styled Coach factory building in Stawell. Possibly built in the second half of the 19th century, the building appears to be in fair condition when viewed from the street.
The Former Stawell Coach Factory, 6 Scotland Place is historically and architecturally significant at a LOCAL level. It is associated with residential and commercial developments in Stawell during the second half of the 19th century, and it demonstrates some original design qualities of a Victorian style. These qualities include the simple gable roof form that traverses the site, together with the single timber framed double hung ground and first floor windows with shallow-arched heads accentuated by brick voussoirs (having recent overpainting). Other intact or appropriate qualities include the galvanised corrugated iron roof cladding, brick wall construction (recently overpainted), and the large central ground floor door opening. It is associated with Mr. John Stabb who worked in and owned the wheelwright and coachbuilding works from 1874 until 1923.
Overall, the Former Stawell Coach Factory, 6 Scotland Place is of LOCAL significance.
