Statement of Significance

Building forms part of remnant building stock which makes up historic town's fabric.

Physical Description

A single-storey brick residence with the front of the house being symmetrical in plan, two matching front rooms with a central passage. It has a shallowly pitched corrugated iron roof reflecting the semi-octagonal ends of the front rooms. A narrow timber framed bullnosed verandah reflects the profile of the front of the house. Both the roof and verandah are richly decorated with cast iron ornament. Internally the moulded cornices, timber mantelpieces. Window and door frames seem to be largely intact in all the major spaces of the original house. The extension on the southern side is a good example of a carefully considered addition closely reflecting the character of the original. Extensions to the rear are generally sympathetic to the character of the house and have replaced the original service areas.

History

The place is associated with the growth of Guildford in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
