An integral part of this important complex of railway buildings that were vital to the development and history of the Eastern Goldfields.
Originally the Goldfields Water Supply manager's house it became part of the railway establishment. A representative architectural form for a large residential building from the turn of the century. It has panelled doors, double hung sash windows and a simply detailed verandah which is now missing some elements.
The house began life as the house for the Manager of the Goldfields Water Supply and later became a part of the railway building complex which was a vital communications and transport link for this isolated town. This building accommodated the lower ranked railway workers. In 1968 it was taken over by the YHA.
