Statement of Significance
STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE
A simple double-bay Edwardian timber house built in 1908. It is architecturally significant locally as characteristic of this style yet with exotic elements such as Medieval and Chinoiserie. The simple gable anticipates the Bungalow style of the 1920s.
