STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE
Historically, the house is among the city's oldest and its occupiers have typically been tradesmen. Architecturally, the house is well preserved for its date and is hence a valuable record of early Geelong housing with some notable verandah details.

Residence - Physical Description 1
This is a double-fronted, weatherboarded side walls house with a bullnose-profile timber verandah and simple gabled roof with rear skillion. Similar to other Geelong houses built in the 1850s, it is more complete, with a notable verandah valence and wide boards to the front wall. Typically the openings are symmetrical and the architraves slim in profile also the chimney (now cemented) has a simple corbelled cornice. Old brickwork on the boundary to the north of the house is all that remains of a brick pair, built there in the 1850s. External Integrity Fence has been replaced sympathetically and the verandah balustrade appears old if altered. The bullnose verandah roof possibly replaced a concave profile early this century, possibly after Ruth Primes death in 1913.
