Statement of Significance
What is significant?
The house, formerly known as Rosehill, at 7 Pellew Street, Reservoir andbuilt c.1893 as a farmhouse for Richard Trudgeon is significant. It is a single-storey double-fronted Victorian brick villa, symmetrically composed with canted bay windows flanking a central panelled timber front door. It has polychromatic brickwork. Its roof is hipped and clad in cement tiles. There are two brick chimneys that have corbelling at their tops. A verandah (not original) extends between the two canted bays. The original form, scale, materials (excluding roofing and other recent materials) and architectural embellishment of the house contributes to its significance.
