STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE
A characteristic early timber house built in 1889, surviving on the smaller "workingmen" allotments around Chilwell, becoming rarer due to demolition or adaptation to current needs. Architecturally significant locally as representative of an early "workingmens" cottage and historically significant locally as a representative embodiment of the worker's way of life on early Newtown.
INTACTNESS: Good. The lace may be recent. The hight concrete block fence is not appropriate.
CONDITION: Very Good
