STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE

An interesting Edwardian house, built in 1906-07, it is architecturally significant locally as a characteristic Edwardian style house, with interesting elements, particularly the most elaborate front upper gable, with its complex layered design. Its decoration is interesting for its combination of Medieval, Chinese and Art Nouveau influences. It gains further significance as one of a group of 12 Edwardian houses along Aberdeen Street.

It is significant historically as a representative embodiment of the way of life in Edwardian Newtown.

Intactness: Reasonable. There is a sympathetic addition and the gable windows are altered. The front fence is not appropriate,

Conditions & Threats: Resonable good. Traffic vibration and pollution. Renovation.
