This single storey painted brick, iron, timber, render and pressed metal bungalow, in the Federation QueenAnne style, has cultural significance because: it is one of the finest examples of its style and period in the suburb, displaying considerable skill in its design, detail andmaterial selection; it retains a high level of integrity; it is comparatively rare and an exemplar of its style; it is highly regarded by the community; it is part of a cultural group and a townscape area
The place is one of the fmest and most intact examples of its style within the suburb, although its liveliness has been subdued by painting the face brickwork and reducing the contrasts which the original decorative scheme would have presented.
The place may have been built by Alice Bostock, the wife of a commercial traveller c.1905, when the working-classes were building their homes in what was consideredthe 'poorer' section of Peppermint Grove. Some historical significance.
Apart from its painted face brickwork the place is an exemplar of its style. It is well considered in its massing, proportions, use of light and shade, and its selection of decorative elements and materials. It is complementedby the appropriate and decorative front picket fence. It has a high level of integrity.
