WEATHERBOARD RESIDENCE
9 JOHN STREET ELTHAM, NILLUMBIK SHIRE
Statement of Significance
REVISED STEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE, CONTEXT, 2010
What is significant?
The c1898 house (including any portions constructed earlier) and the entire garden and site to the title boundaries.
How is it significant?
The house is historically and architecturally significant to the Shire of Nillumbik.
Why is it significant?
The house is historically and architecturally significant because it was largely designed (and subsequently occupied) by architect Charles Maplestone, of Victoria's Public Works Department. Maplestone was associated with additions to the Geelong Gaol (1859), the court of petty sessions at Meredith (1859) and the Kangaroo Ground Presbyterian Church (1878) (Criterion H). The house is historically significant because its form suggests that part of it could date from 1858 and be a rare surviving example of the modest homes constructed for and by artisans within little Eltham (an 1850s development situated around the intersection of Pitt Street and Main Road and the predecessor to the current Eltham township) (Criterion B).
