Statement of Significance

The two storey townhouse Selvetta at 22 The Avenue was erected in 1884 by Howard Smith for Robert and Louisa Jones. The brick structure is four bays in width and has a rendered facade. The two tier arcade with cast iron columns has an elaborate cornice and balustrade with centrally located name plate. A townhouse in the boom style with an unusual four bay composition.
