Statement of Significance

The double fronted former stone cottage at 72 Julia Street was erected c.1855 by John Jones, a local stonemason as a residence for himself and his family. The facade is simply conceived but finely executed. An outstanding feature of the building is the carving over the fireplace of seven stone faces, intricately and beautifully executed. The faces are said to be those of the wife and six children of John Jones.
