Statement of Significance
Its style is also unusual, as are many of its details notable.
Historically, it has been linked over a long period with the city's medical practitioners and generally complete (stables and some garden), the house expresses well their period of occupancy.

Building - Physical Description 1
Similar to at least two other large late Victorian & Edwardian era houses sited on major corners further east along Mitchell Street, this red brick and stucco two-storey house has the typical main hipped roof with gabled room bays protruding on either side of a return verandah. Not typical, however, is the skirt-like shingling at first floor level, with its concave profile, while the combination of brick piers (to first level) and partly spiralled cement Ionic-order columns is also not widely used in the study area.
The cast-iron balustrading has a distinct Arts & Crafts character (inverted heart). The gables are half-timbered and gain support from slatted brackets. Segment-arched and fully (stilted) arched windows occur both in a Venetian or Serlian configuration, are other important facade elements. Notable leadlight glazing has also been used, along with a circular window on the east side. At the rear is a brick table block and the Canary Island Date Palm on the east is a major remnant of an early garden.
