STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE

An interesting and fine Edwardian house built in 1908, with rare early examples of pylon chimneys, later popular in 1920s Californian bungalows. It is architecturally significant locally, as an interesting Edwardian style house, demonstrating strong formal characteristics, including a rectangular belvedere, its chimneys and a fine Art Nouveau frieze valence and as one of a group of 12 relatively intact and most varied, in Aberdeen Street. It is significant historically as a representative embodiment of the way of life in the Edwardian period in Newtown.

Intactness: The fron verandah is infolled with windows. There is an inappropriately high front timber fence in butted pickets.

Conditions and Threats: Very good. Render needs repointing, carefully.
