City of Greater Bendigo, Heritage Policy Citations Project Lovell Chen, 2010 History California Gully was one of many early gold fields that supported sizeable tent populations during the initial rushes to Bendigo in 1851-52. Significant and more permanent development subsequently took place in the area between the 1860s and 1880s. However, with the decline of gold mining in the early 1900s, and the advent of World War I (1914-1918), the 1930s Depression, and World War II (1939- 1945), very little housing was built in California Gully until a new burst of albeit limited development of the area during the post-war years. 1 City of Greater Bendigo rate books indicate that a dwelling at 326 Maiden Gully Road was built by 1920. In 1933, the property was owned by the Carlton and United Breweries. Edward J Yates took possession the following year, when the net asset value (NAV) was £3. The NAV increased to £13 pounds in 1941, suggesting that the property was significantly upgraded or rebuilt at that time. 2 Edward Yates was a miner, working during the fading years of Bendigo's long period of quartz reef mining. The vernacular nature of the present dwelling, and the low cost of the locally available materials, suggest that the property was self-built. The rear of the property was damaged during the bush fires of 2009. 3 The Yates family was well-known in the local area, and is also associated with the construction in the 1930s of number 330 Maiden Gully Road.4 Victoria’s Framework of Historical Themes Victoria’s themes and sub-themes: 4.5: Gold mining 6.8: Living on the fringes Description & Integrity The property at no. 326 Maiden Gully Road, which is believed to have taken on its present form in 1941, is a single-storey gable roof bungalow-style dwelling built of local sandstone. It is located on a sloping site, within a large allotment. The sandstone walls are coursed, with red brick dressings to the openings and corners. The gabled roof is clad with corrugated steel sheet, painted green. The gable ends are clad in asbestos cement sheet, with strapping and a central fixed louvred vent, in the manner of a Californian bungalow. The street-facing elevation (north) is symmetrical with double hung windows flanking a central doorway. The timber door has two glass panels with a glazed highlight above. There is an elevated timber posted bull nosed verandah with central ladder frame frieze and fretted spandrels (framing the entrance). The floor of the verandah is rough concrete, and the brick base is in poor condition. The dwelling is in fair condition. There are a number of timber additions to the rear of the dwelling, incorporating a brick chimney. These were damaged during the 2009 bushfires. A large sandstone building, also with gable ends, of more recent construction (c. 1990s) is located to the west of the house. This appears to be a garage or store. It has a shallow pitched roof and a double-width timber door. Both structures are set back from Maiden Gully Road, behind an open garden. Vegetation, including a variety of mature and semimature trees are located around the property. Comparative Analysis The use of locally-available materials in the construction of self-built homes dates to the earliest years of settlement in the Bendigo goldfields. Surviving early examples include Tweedside, at 39 Crusoe Road, Kangaroo Flat (c. 1856), which was built of locally-made brick for a wealthy migrant, who also imported glass sheets for use in his new home. A more contemporary equivalent to the subject property, albeit built about ten years later and of mud brick and timber, is no. 330 Maiden Gully Road. This property is also believed to have been associated with, and built by, the Yates family. The bungalow style of the subject building is also of interest, being a comparatively late example of this style in the Victorian context. 2
