STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE

A large brick Edwardian house built in c 1880. It has architectural significance as characteristic of the domestic Edwardian style, but with some more extravagant elements such as the slate roof, bluestone cills and French windows. It has historical significance as a representative embodiment of a solid and comfortable family life style in Edwardian Newtown.

INTACTNESS: Very good. The verandah floor has been replaced with a slab, impeding sub-floor ventilation and potentially causing springy floors in the front room.

CONDITIONS AND THREATS: Good. The roofing slate and some joinery need maintenance.
