Statement of Significance

An experimental building of 1907 by the architect and engineer Gerard Wight, in which a conscious attempt is made to develop a rational Australian style and construction that has been adapted to hot dry areas. This is more particularly reflected in the use of galvanised iron walls packed with sawdust. Less rational, but even more unusual, are the banded verandah posts.
