Statement of Significance
STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE
13 Balliang Street has architectural and historic significance at a local level. The building is a representative and substantially intact example of a Victorian residence, a housing type once common in The Geelong region. The building retains its characteristic form, siting and typical Victorian details. It forms a pair with the adjacent building at 11 Balliang Street.
This substantially intact Victorian residence with timber skillion at the rear, has a symmetrical facade constructed of weatherboard cladding. The corrugated iron roof is hipped with a simple convex verandah with iron posts that are not appropriate to the style of the residence. The windows are typical Victorian double hung sash openings with projecting sills. The central entrance has a typical highlight and is hidden by a security door. The verandah is concrete but would have originally been timber. The fence at the front of the site is timber and of considerable age. The building is very similar in form and detail to the adjacent structure at 11 Balliang Street, and forms part of the residential streetscape.
