Statement of Significance
The house, constructed in 1860, at 1 Yarra Street, Williamstown.
How is it Significant?The house at 1 Yarra Street, Williamstown is of local historic and aesthetic significance to the City of Hobsons Bay.
Why is it Significant?Historically, it is significant as one of the oldest houses on The Strand and one of a small number of houses in Williamstown dating from 1860 or earlier. It illustrates the speculative subdivision that occurred in the Private Survey area soon after the creation of the first Crown Portions. It is also of interest for its association with a number of people who had connections to Williamstown's maritime industries. (AHC criteria A4, B2 and G1)
Aesthetically, it is significant as a distinguishably early but altered stone house, which is notable for its elevated two storey form and orientation toward the bay that reflects its maritime history. (AHC criteria B2 and E1)
