LOCAL SIGNIFICANCE - INCLUDED IN HERITAGE PRECINCT
Statement of Significance
59 Weller appears to have been built circa 1864 and 1882 for Isaac Bailey and remained the property of his family for at least 25 years. The cottage design is typical for the Early Victorian period of the previous decade however, ther decorative wall detailing is most unusual. It is of local significance.
