Statement of Significance

A three roomed brick cottage of hand-made bricks, still bearing an original fire insurance plaque, and built against an even earlier cool store cum meatstore or dairy with partially hollow brick walls on Silverlock's system, the earliest example of this yet identified in Victoria: the cottage and store, in addition to a skillion on the opposite side of the store, retain shingle roofs beneath later corrugated iron; a verandah across the face of the building, which survives in part, seems also to have been shingled; and a skillion at the rear of the cottage, though much altered, is believed to be of nineteenth century date as well.
