The small Ajana cottage has local historic and social significance as one of few remaining buildings in the town. It demonstrates a variety and charm that may be indicative of the previous character of the town.
This small cottage/residence is one of few remaining buildings in the Ajana townsite. It has a simple 'L' shaped plan form with an 'M' shaped, hipped, CGI roof over the major areas to the rear. A projecting front room, with roof gable and finial over, breaks the otherwise rectilinear plan. The projecting front room, complete with bay window, forms a termination for the verandah which wraps around the side and across the front. The walls of the original cottage are of weatherboard and the verandah has been enclosed with horizontal CGI, fibro and panels of louvre windows. The verandah roof attaches at the walls of the residence under the main roof. Overall, the cottage, with its decorative elements and basic materials, demonstrates in its original owner/builder, an aspiration for simple sophistication in a home in preference to the ordinary.
Integrity: High Modifications: Verandah enclosures Orig'l Fabric: Mostly intact.
