STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE

An unusual and particularly intact, late Victorian symmetrical house, built in 1892. It is architecturally significant in representing one of the diversity of stylistic approaches at this time, with unusual decorative elements such as the generous valence and rare cantilevered entrance canopy with its flamboyant Rococo fretwork. It is significant historically as a representative embodiment of the comfortable way of life in Edwardian Newtown and its values.
