Statement of Significance
This former Rosehill gardener's house, and later Rosehill chapel, is locally significant historically:
- being among the oldest group of residential structures in the City and hence highly evocative of the period of early subdivision and settlement in the area (Criterion A4);
- as one of the few basalt residential structures in the City and thus is particularly evocative of its age (Criterion B2).

House - Physical Description 1
(as assessed from the street)
This is a modest Gothic Revival style, random coursed basalt rubble building with looped fretted timber bargeboards at one gable end and a gabled slate roof.
Set hard on the street alignment, the north wall openings (three double-hung windows plus a four-panel door and toplights) are narrow, with stone lintels and glazing bars in the window margins. The western gable end has a pair of attic windows. There was a door off-centre on the north side.
House - Integrity
(as assessed from the street)
Generally externally original to its basic publicly visible 19th century form except for details such as the missing valence detail to the east end. A visually similar added wing and connecting gabled roof bay are visible on the south in aerial views
