STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE

Historically, probably Geelong's oldest Wesleyan ministers residence and the only indication that this two-acre grant was once intended for church use. It is also among the city's oldest houses.

Architecturally, indicative of its two early construction periods, the house has valuable verandah detailing and represents well a house type now uncommon in Geelong city, (medium sized, brick detached villa, single-storey of the 1850s or earlier) one comparison being the Willis house at 242 Ryrie Street.
