Statement of Significance

Of local significance as one of the few remaining early homesteads in the now built-up area of St Albans, associated with a prominent and early-established local family. The house was relatively intact until recently and retains a large block, sheds and mature exotic trees which help establish the historical landscape context of the property.

      Stevens Farmhouse - Physical Description 1

      This moderate-sized, Edwardian era, weatherboard farm house has large mature exotic trees on the surviving (unsubdivided) homestead block. The trees include Monterey cypress, elm at rear, and a row of heavily-pollarded sugar gums. A cement-mortared, rubble stone wall in front of the property is the domestic expression of the once ubiquitous drystone farm wall of the district. The house is altered but retains the bull-nose iron verandah with timber fretwork extending around the front and side. It has a hipped, corrugated iron roof, double-hung sash windows and door-lights (panelled in).
