It is said to still retain a split timber slab outbuilding, lined with "laths and daub".Both are historically significant as a representative embodiment of rural family life in a farm and orchard in late nineteenth century Croydon.. It is also significant as the house of Croydon pioneer and original Crown grantee August Kleinert who settled here from 1877. The slab hut is particularly significant as pioneering to the municipality. They are architecturally significant as representative of their styles locally and the hut further as demonstrating craftsmanship in early materials.
