Statement of Significance

REVISED STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE, CONTEXT, 2010

What is significant?
The entire 1969 studio, including the spiral staircase and wrought metalwork and the shed with its iron gates and the site to a radius of 25 metres.

How is it significant?
The 1969 studio and the shed are architecturally, historically, aesthetically and socially significant to the Shire of Nillumbik.

Why is it significant?
The 1969 studio is architecturally, historically and aesthetically significant because it exemplifies the highly creative structures erected in the former Shire of Eltham during the 1960s and 1970s and is one of the two finest small buildings constructed in the 'Eltham style' (See also HO157) (Criteria F, E & D). The shed is historically and aesthetically significant for its unusual iron gates (Criteria E & B). The studio and shed are historically significant because it is associated with Arthur Munday, Peter Garner, Lenore Garner and the Montsalvat artists' community more broadly (Criterion H).
