Statement of Significance
The former Delmage Cottage has historic significance for its connection with the development of the town and its association with the Delmage family. Further the building enhances the historic character of the town given its simple style and use of local materials.
RECOMMENDATION
Each of the buildings [Place Numbers 24, 25, 26, 27, 28 and 29] contribute to the unique streetscape of Hunts Road which should be considered as a heritage precinct with development considerations made accordingly.

History
This small cottage was built for James Delmage when he first arrived in Dongara in the early 1880s. He operated a blacksmith's shop (it was sited on the corner of Moreton Terrace and Martin Street where Dongara Hardware now stands). Delmage later lived in the two storey house (Place No. 27) and was President of the Irwin District Roads Board, 1903-1918. (Source: Jean Thurkle).
The house was occupied for many years by Mr & Mrs Sid Criddle. (Source: IDHS Records)
