Statement of Significance
A characteristic symmetrical Italianate timber house, and its context surviving remarkably intact and evocative. The significant contextual elements include the garden layout configuration, edging tiles, parterres, trees and hedge (further research may establish the garden to be of Regional significance). It is architecturally significant locally as representative of this domestic style in its context and historically as a most evocative embodiment of life in Newtown 120 years ago.

Residence - Physical Description 1
A double-fronted symmetrical Italianate timber house. The concave skillion verandah extends around the front. It has rare surviving tray and roll sheet metal cladding (this should be inspected closely to confirm its significance), with a fretwork apron and cast-iron lave valance and brackets, timber posts and rare surviving canvas blinds.
The frieze has turned spindle brackets with lozenges and panels between. Chimneys are Venetian brick. Windows are tripartite and the entrance has side fanlights. The garden has cypresses at the entrance and a Pittosporum hedge, with a surviving cruciform garden layout, edged with a low privet Ligustrum parterre hedges.
