Statement of Significance

This small suburban villa was erected prior to 1855. The house is constructed of stucco rendered brick with a timber verandah. French windows and Georgian window sashes are irregularly disposed around a rusticated, arched side entry door..
It is one of the first houses constructed in SouthYarra, possibly before 1851, and is of architectural interest as a surviving example of the conservative Georgian architectural tradition commonly adopted in pre-gold rush Victoria. The house is a picturesque composition and reminiscent of pattern book villa architecture of the early 19th century in England.
The small villa was extensively altered and extended in 1969 with changes to the fenestration, side verandah as well as to exterior and interior finishes. Notwithstanding certain alterations, it remains an early dated house in this area.
