The house is of architectural significance and was designed by E G Cohen an influential architect of the period. Compared to the somewhat Tudor vernacular revivalism of No 3 Turner St this house shows the application of vernacular revivalist theory as it began to interpret Australian vernacular forms.
Carrying the same balustrade pattern and other details as No 3 Turner St, also by Cohen. It is now (1980) owned by the medical and health services department as medical officers residence. English vernacular details survive in this house with is however, reminiscent of tropical bungalow forms, an impression reinforced by the palm trees flanking the east elevation. Palm trees are common in houses of this period.
