Statement of Significance

STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE:

A large apparently intact Late Edwardian house with an attic, built in c1912. It has architectural significance as an unusual variant of this style, curiously, without a verandah. It is historically significant in embodying evocative evidence of well-to-do family life in Newtown about the time of the Great War and its value.

INTACTNESS: Apparently Excellent. A side entrance canopy and at least one attic appear to have been added. Curiously, there appears to be no verandah at all..

CONDITIONS AND THREATS: Very good. Traffic vibration and pollution.

REFERENCE:

City of Newtown and Chilwell Ratebooks.
