Statement of Significance

This two storey brick house of 1878 with central passage/stair hall, four rooms on each floor with service rooms at two levels at the rear, is distinguished by a fine tower and cream brick quoins. The brickwork is a mellow and particularly attractive example of the bricks made by the owner/builder, Thomas C Allchin, at his own brickyard elsewhere in Mornington. The Tower is unusual in that originally there was a projecting balcony at the top level and for the fact that it was not built solely as a decorative feature or for pleasure but served as an observation point for Allchin to survey the sea for his bay trading ships.
