Statement of Significance

This large single storey red brick house with attic was designed by Frank Hardess for Henry Murdoch in 1908. It is a notable example of the Federation Style in the provincial environment. This style had, by 1908, become generally accepted and its detail and elements were generally available. It is successful in creating a complex plan and silhouette. It has been very little altered since 1908 and is particularly interesting because of the large number of original finishes and details. The garden, although considerably reduced, still has many clear elements of its early layout.
