A valuable house in the streetscape demonstrating sympathetic additions and alterations throughout of the highest order.
1995 Comment: Of historic and architectural interest in prominent heritage streetscape/precinct. A triple-fronted brick and iron house with a hip and gabled roof built before 1901. It has a pretty front door and side light assembly with stained glass in the door and surrounding lights. A separately pitched front verandah covers south and east elevations and the house has been added to substantially in a fairly sympathetic manner. 2005 Review: A triple-fronted brick and Colorbond (replacing iron) house with a hipped gambrel roof set behind a decorative gable. The house was built prior to 1901. Its original pretty front door and side light assembly with stained glass in the door and surrounding lights, could not be confirmed from observing from the street. A separately pitched front verandah covers the south and east facades and the house has been added to substantially, at the rear in a fairly sympathetic, although moderately intrusive manner. The carport built to the building line, closed by a rolling door, is intrusive to the setting of the place and to the streetscape of this important section of Forrest Street. Reason for Inclusion 1. The place is of higher-order local cultural heritage significance, being classified as Category 2 in the Town’s Municipal Inventory (MI). 2. In 2005 the Town undertook a review of MI Category 2 places towards the Heritage List for LPS3. The study recommended that the property be retained as Category 2. 3. The place contributes to the character and amenity of the street, locality and overall district.
