Statement of Significance
What is significant?
The residence at 29 Lerderderg Street, Bacchus Marsh.
How is it significant?
The Residence at 29 Lerderderg Street, Bacchus Marsh is of local historical and aesthetic significance to the Shire of Moorabool.
Why is it significant?
The Residence at 29 Lerderderg Street, Bacchus Marsh is of historical importance 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 house was originally constructed for the orchardist Albert Woodward in 1929. The intactness and representative nature of the building gives the building historical significance as a representative embodiment of a way of life in the 1930s.
The Residence at 29 Lerderderg Street, Bacchus Marsh is of aesthetic significance as an excellent intact example of an Inter-War bungalow demonstrating key features of the period, including the elaborate chimney, which is made a feature of the front elevation, terracotta tiled roof, corner window, masonry projecting porch with arched openings, and use of cream and manganese bricks for features.
