It has been classified for its historic interest and its long social significance. Originally it was convict hiring depot, and after that in 1873, it was converted into the resident magistrate's home.
A single storey cottage built of stuccoed stone walls and now with an asbestos cement roof which is not original. Many minor alterations over the years have altered its original character, but it is being restored. Its main importance is historic, since it was once a convict hiring depot and was built between 1852-1860 and later converted to the official residence of the town magistrate.
