STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE
Historically, occupied by and erected for the locally known Brinsmead family with possible older links to the pre-subdivisions period.
Architecturally, evocative of early Geelong cottages but its uncertain historical background makes this equally uncertain.

Brinsmead House Residence - Physical Description 1
Possibly relocated on this site, this is a low double fronted simply hipped-roof timber house, comprised of two main bays, one seemingly added to the other. The brick chimneys have corbelled tops (extended) and appear as early as the house. Simple openings, with simple mouldings, all evoke a similar early character.
External IntegrityThe verandah has been rebuilt, the fence removed and a pergola added to the east.
Shares early character of some adjacent houses and the old church-hall complex, but most of these houses have been altered, lowering the street's expression of this early period. Contributes to precinct 10.3
