Statement of Significance
The house at 33 Seaby Street, Stawell, makes a significant contribution to the predominantly single storey, Victorian styled streetscape of Seaby Street and has visual connections to the Grampians ranges. The Late Victorian style of this house suggests that it was constructed in either the late 19th or early 20th century.
The house at 33 Seaby 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, and although altered, it demonstrates original design qualities of a Late Victorian style. These qualities include the complex roof form, with a central hipped roof, projecting rear gable, projecting front gable and return broken back verandah. Other intact or appropriate qualities include the single storey height, asymmetrical composition, horizontal weatherboard wall cladding, painted and lapped galvanised corrugated iron roof cladding, several unpainted brick chimneys with multi-corbelled and curvilinear tops, broad eaves, timber framed windows and timber verandah posts.
Overall, the house at 33 Seaby Street is of LOCAL significance.

House, 33 Seaby Street, STAWELL - Physical Description 1
The site at 33 Seaby Street is visually connected to other significant, single storey, predominantly Victorian styled houses in the streetscape of Seaby Street. It is also visually connected to the Grampians ranges to the south-west.
This house has a front yard identified by large pine and wattle trees, shrubs and grass, with an introduced concrete driveway along the side. The front boundary is identified by the Stawell stone retaining wall, two courses high.
The asymmetrical, single storey, horizontal weatherboard, Late Victorian styled house is characterised by a complex roof form, with a central hipped roof, rear gable that projects at the side, minor gable that projects towards the street frontage, and a return broken back verandah that projects towards the front and side. These roof forms are clad in painted and lapped galvanised corrugated iron. Several unpainted brick chimneys with corbelled and curvilinear tops adorn the roofline. Broad overhangs are a feature of the eaves. The windows appear to be early and are timber framed.
A feature of the design is the return verandah. It is supported by recent square timber columns with an introduced timber balustrade. A carport clad with a lattice screen is located at the rear.
