Statement of Significance
STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE:
A large apparently intact Late Edwardian house with an attic, built in c1912. It has architectural significance as an unusual variant of this style, curiously, without a verandah. It is historically significant in embodying evocative evidence of well-to-do family life in Newtown about the time of the Great War and its value.
INTACTNESS: Apparently Excellent. A side entrance canopy and at least one attic appear to have been added. Curiously, there appears to be no verandah at all..
CONDITIONS AND THREATS: Very good. Traffic vibration and pollution.
REFERENCE:

Residence - Physical Description 1
DESCRIPTION
A generally triple-fronted, hip roofed, brick Late Edwardian house, with some characteristics transitional to Bungalow style. The slate roof has a terracotta ridge capping and finials; yet the chimneys are plain roughcast pylons. Walls also, are roughcast above the stringcourse mould. Both right and left side rear bays project as gables. Upper gables jetty on ogee brackets, with eaves on groups of three or four. There are four attic gables. The front gable angles are indented forming small porches and supported on square Tuscan columns, this may be the (former?) entrance. The sire is retained by a roughly coursed bluestone wall.
