Statement of Significance
STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE
A relatively plain characteristic symmetrical Italianate timber house built in 1875. It has an interesting eaves valance. It is architecturally significant locally as characteristic domestic Italianate and historically as embodying family life in Newtown in the 1870s. INTACTNESS The verandah may have been rebuilt including its base. It can now only be entered from the side. The fence is later and anachronistic. There is a small, generally appropriate skillion addition at right.
