Statement of Significance

Architecturally, a typical but near complete Italianate villa which achieves distinction from the wall material (basalt), as a minority 19th century urban construction type and indicative of the Footscray area's contribution to the building materials of the metropolis, and the Maclean's patent concrete-filled iron column. Historically, obvious as the oldest house in the precinct and thus the precursor of the surrounding re-subdivision also long identified with the locally prominent contractor and councillor, David Newell.
