Statement of Significance
Powell's Prefabricated House is important to the built heritage of Victoria despite its earliest origins being uncertain.
The building probably dates from the period of peak importation of prefabricated buildings between 1853 and 1854, during which prefabricated buildings were providing for the shortfall in accommodation during the gold rush years. As such, it is representative of an important but numerically diminished building type.
The orientation and hierarchy of the internal spaces and decorative detailing of the fabric mark this building as being specifically intended for a commercial use.
Despite the removal of one end room, the fabric and details of the original structure are substantially intact.
