House, 11 Chester Street is a single storey timber and tile house constructed as a simple variation of the Inter-War Californian Bungalow style of Architecture. The walls are timber framed and clad with fibre cement sheeting. The roof is pitched and clad with tiles. There is a painted brick chimney.

The Chester family were early settlers, and one of the sons had a butchering business. The area bounded by Douro Rd was originally called Chesterfield. Chester St was previously called William St and changed to Chester St in the 1901-02 rate period. Lot 95 belonged to the estate of John Meddleton Ferres and was vacant in 1904 to 1906. By 1916/17 the lot was still vacant and belonged to G A Lefroy. By 1951/52 Frederick Edward Standen had built and was living in a house on the lot.
