How is it significant?
The Residence and its setting at 4 Dugdale Street, Bacchus Marsh is of local historical and architectural significance to the Shire of Moorabool.
Why is it significant?
The Residence and its setting at 4 Dugdale Street, Bacchus Marsh is of local historical significance for its demonstration of the prosperous period in the history of Bacchus Marsh stimulated by farming, industry and closer settlement. The residence was built in 1912-13 for R.H. Dugdale a wealthy local resident and was sold to Charles Dickie, a director of Lifeguard Milk Products in around 1920. Charles Dickie was the father of Vance Dickie MLC. Vance took over the directorship of Lifeguard Milk Products from 1937 to 1940 and later went on to become a Liberal Government Minister. He served as the member for the Ballarat Electorate from 1856 until 1978. The residence is of local historical significance for its association with these prominent residents.
The Residence and its setting at 4 Dugdale Street, Bacchus Marsh is of aesthetic significance as an architect designed transitional Victorian and Edwardian residence. The building demonstrates key features of both periods of architecture styles. The hipped roofs and bull-nose profile verandah with cast iron Composite order posts are Victorian Italianate details while the terracotta ridge capping and Art nouveau cast iron frieze to the verandah are Edwardian details.
Previous
A large Transitional Edwardian brick house designed by the little known architect Sydney Welson, built in 1912-13 and later occupied by Charles Dickie when its name was changed from Cholderton to Lorraine. It is the largest Edwardian house in the municipality and the largest house in the Town.
It is locally historically significant as a particularly large representative embodiment of a way oflife and the social values ofthe confident period innnediately prior to the First World War. It demonstrates an association with the locally important and influential Dickie family.
Finally the house is architecturally significant locally as a rather retrospective, yet still representative example ofthe domestic Edwardian style.
