subdued by painting the face brickwork and reducing the
contrasts which the original decorative scheme would have
presented.

History

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.
