| Last updated on - May 8, 2008 The residence and shop are historically significant at a local level for its association with the Lambdens, a prominent Rushworth family from the 1870s. The residence is architecturally significant at a local level as an intact example of a typical late Victorian timber residence, which makes a positive contribution to the streetscape. Its association with the adjacent butcher's shop is also of interest. Classified: 13/11/1995 Historic Area Statement of Significance: Rushworth is a gold mining town of considerable historic character. There is a wealth in its historic buildings and other structures which remain from its early development in the 1850's and the subsequent boom of the decades to follow. The twentieth century saw a shift in Rushworth's importance as a mining town, to a servicing centre for the surrounding rural community. Essentially a town of the past, Rushworth has been largely by-passed by twentieth century development. This general decline has, however, had a positive effect in conserving the town's historic urban fabric. The decline whilst resulting in the loss of some buildings, has caused few intrusive replacements. About the town, many of Rushworth's boom period buildings remain in a largely intact condition and an atmosphere of tranquility pervades in this historic township. The character and significance of the town is largely a function of its landscape setting; the spacious High Street; the town's irregular layout of straight streets; which are a legacy of Rushworth's boom period subsequent decline.
