Statement of Significance

SIGNIFICANCE:
Significant as an illustration of evolution of a town house form, of good architectural quality and forming part of a precinct, in Stirling Street, of various typical house
forms.

Physical Description

A house with double-hipped roof, with the front closing and concealing the roof valley, illustrating the evolution of a common roof form from the random results of expedient additions to be seen in the adjacent house at No 82. Decorated barge boards are of the same type seen earlier at "Leschenault" and 15 Casey Street. The concave, belled verandah roof is of a typical type preceding the bullnosed type. With the development of the main roof type a broad plan, with rooms flanking a central passage, replaced the early vernacular rectangular cottage form. Recently restored. Circa 1880 - 90.
