Statement of Significance
What is significant?
The Residence and its setting at 28 Young Street, Bacchus Marsh.
How is it significant?
The Residence and its setting at 28 Young Street, Bacchus Marsh is of local historical and aesthetic significance to the Shire of Moorabool.
Why is it significant?
The Residence and its setting at 28 Young Street, Bacchus Marsh is of local historical significance for its reflection of the Inter-War period of residential development stimulated by the expansion of the orcharding industry. The orcharding industry expanded around Bacchus Marsh in the Inter-War period due to a number of factors, including the introduction of cool storage, the mechanisation of fruit grading, improved irrigation methods, use of bulk handling techniques, and after 1932, preferential entry into the British markets for fresh, dried and tinned fruit. The intactness and representative nature of the building gives the building historical significance as a representative embodiment of a way of life in the 1920s.
The Residence and its setting at 28 Young Street, Bacchus Marsh is of aesthetic significance as an excellent intact and representative example of a substantial Inter-War Bungalow demonstrating many fine features of the style. Constructed in 1928, the residence includes Inter-War Bungalow features including the combined clinker brick and roughcast walls, exposed rafters to the eaves, soldier course band of brickwork at door head height, deep verandah with wide brick pillars and a brick balustrade, and triple double hung windows.
