Statement of Significance
What is significant?
Haine's House (also known as the Fisherman's Cottage), constructed c.1887, at 13 Mickle Street, Tooradin.
How is it significant?
Haine's House is of local historic, social and aesthetic significance to the City of Casey.
Why is it significant?
Historically, it is significant for its associations with an important theme in the area's early history, that of the humble, often-leased dwelling occupied by labourers and fishermen in town lots. It is among the first houses to be built in the Tooradin township and one of the the oldest remaining town houses in the former Cranbourne Shire. The value of the building lies not just its physical fabric, but also in its associated objects, which illustrate early life in Tooradin. (AHC criteria A4, B2 and D2)
Socially, its acquisition by the Tooradin community and conversion to a museum demonstrates the strong attachment of the cottage to the local community. (AHC criterion G1)
Aesthetically, it is significant as a well-preserved example of a simple Victorian weatherboard cottage close to the foreshore, which illustrates its connection with the occupation of its early inhabitants. It is a local landmark within Tooradin. (AHC criterion E1)
