Statement of Significance

Physical Description

Sandstone building with brick quoins, originally with a pitched corrugated iron roof that has since been replaced by a flat roof in a modern metal profile. The building is a classical composition of 3 bays with a masonry arched portico supported by two simple tapered columns and a barrel vaulted corrugated galvanized iron roof linked to the building.

History

A building no longer in use but with important historical and social associations with the life of the town in the gold boom period. It once had a formal garden leading via a hedge lined path to the entry portica.
