STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE

A complex timber Edwardian house, with an extensive and complex verandah and unusual roofing elements, built in 1884, but with major alterations from c1900, by a new owner. It is architecturally significant as an unusual, complex Edwardian house in external appearance now, at least, and historically in embodying the development of a family house with changing ownership and generally professional family life in Newtown in the mid 1880s and early this century.

INTACTNESS: very good. The right verandah is infilled at the high fence and gates are not appropriate either.

CONDITIONS AND THREATS: Fair

REFERENCE: City of Newtown and Chilwell
