STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE

A characteristic timber Californian Bungalow, whose significance has been greatly compromised by massive additions and alteration, sometimes in a confusingly historicist manner. It remains architecturally significant locally as representative ofthis domestic style and historically in embodying life in Newtown between the wars.

INTACTNESS: - Fair only. There is a very major, perhaps overwhelming, double-storey development which has drastically altered the form. the verandah appears to be rebuilt, with a new-flyscreen door, new balustrade, new chimneys, new fence, new carport etc.

CONDITION: - Excellent
