Statement of Significance
What is significant?
The single storey weatherboard house at 2 Monroe Street, Branxholme was built in the late nineteenth century and is a chaste but conventional example of its type. The detailing of the fenestration and verandah suggest both an affluent owner and a professional designer. The house was at one time occupied by one of the town's doctors. It was possibly designed by the architect, James Henry Fox of Hamilton, who, in the early 1860s, was responsible for the nearby St Andrews Presbyterian church and manse and, in 1864, the front wing of William Howarth's house, further south along Monroe Street. The house is in fair condition and remains substantially intact with a high degree of integrity externally.

The house at 2 Monroe Street, Branxholme is of historical and architectural significance to the township of Branxholme and the Southern Grampians Shire.
