This house was built by New Zealand architect builder Alfred Riggs as his own house. It is part of an attractive street scape in elevated leafy Mann Street one of the most attractive streetscapes in the district. Riggs built 3 Congdon Street as a home for his daughter and her husband Bolt.
Edwardian Bungalow, 1915, hipped corrugated iron/zincalume roof with three small gables two to the east and one to the south. These are half-timbered with turned fmials. Bullnosed verandah has a cement floor and turned posts but no decorative wooden fretwork remains. This was removed in the 1960s renovations. Small louvred section in the projecting gable allows for airflow. The awning over the windows in the projecting section of the house has been replaced in the 1990s with an 1870s style concave awning. The windows of this section are casement with three lights below and three small fixed above. The upper lights are of stained glass with a dainty floral motif. The front door has lights on either side and above. The stained glass has been removed and replaced with unsympathetic vertical glass of c1960s vintage. Pair of front windows to the verandah are double hung. The sills beneath the windows have decorative plaster scrolling beneath the corniced sills. The tuckpointed red brick has been painted. Extensions to the house on the seaward side are extensive. A 1940s-1960s addition is a garage on the side.
