House, 4 Chester Street is a single storey, brick, rendered masonry and iron house with a symmetrical facade designed as a late example of the Victorian Georgian style of architecture. The walls are rendered masonry. The roof is hipped and clad with corrugated iron. The façade is symmetrical with a central front door and timber framed casement windows. The verandah has a continuous corrugated iron roof supported on round steel posts with rendered masonry balustrade. Both ends of the verandah have a lattice infill. There is a face brick chimney evident. There is an extension at the rear of the house. There is a rendered masonry and steel fence to the front boundary line.
The Chester family were early settlers, and one of the sons had a butchering business. The area bounded by Douro Rd was originally called Chesterfield. Chester St was previously called William St and changed to Chester St in the 1901-02 rate period.
In 1905/06 there were stables on the lot owned by Norman Thomas. In 1916/17 the land was vacant and owned by G A Lefroy and in 1934/35 the still vacant lot was owned by Victor Ducie. In c. 1937 Ernest Mincrullo was living in and owned the house at 4 Chester Street.
