This two storey brick and iron residence, in the Victorian Italianate style, has cultural significance because: it has historical associations with Horatio Scholl, a prominent businessman, and Charles Oldham, one of the leading architects, of their time; it is a fine, although conservative, example of its comparatively rare style; it retains a high level of integrity; it is part of a cultural group and is a major comer element in a townscape area.
The style of the place is a revival of a Victorian style. It is a handsome example of the style and has the unusual feature of an extension to the ground floor verandah and is seen in profile from the street.
The place was designed by Charles Oldham and built for Horatio Scholl as an investment property. Charles Oldham was also responsible for 'Unalla', the Rischbeith mansion, two blocks to the north. Scholl was a successful businessman who joined the number of 'gentlemen' who earned their wealth in the new era of urban investment in the late nineteenth / early twentieth centuries, following the gold boom period. Considerable historical significance. Charles Oldham, in his Peppermint Grove designs, shows himself to be a highly competent, although conservative architect. This residence is a fine, reserved example of its style, which retains a high level of integrity.
