Statement of Significance
STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE
A double-storey Californian Bungalow of rendered and roughcast Cindcrete cinder breeze blocks built in 1924. It is architecturally significant locally as representative of this domestic style in a larger house and for its extensive use of the technologically interesting Cindcrete blocks by its builder owner. It is historically significant in embodying comfortable middle class life in Newtown in the mid1920s.

A double-storey Californian Bungalow of roughcast and rendered Cindcrete breeze blocks. There is a major double-storey gable across, extending forward at right as an in.fi11ed verandah. Roofs are clad in unusual flat terracotta tiles. An attic gable faces at front, clad with shingles, including a skillion window hood to the far sashes. Over, are three slot vents.
At rear left, a further gable projects. The former entrance porch now in.fi11ed is in the front left angle with an archway. Next to it at front is an oriel with a splayed spandrel on plain brackets. Next are small leadlights with C.R Mackintosh influenced patterns.
The fence is also Cindcrete roughcast, with a mild steel pedestrian gate with curlicue decoration. Chimneys are plain roughcast expressed. At rear is a gabled garage of exposed Cindcrete blocks.
