STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE
149 Gheringhap Street has architectural and historic significance at a local level. It is a representative and reasonably intact example of Late Victorian housing with typical Victorian details. The building retains its characteristic siting and form and has notable original verandah details and some facade decoration. The aluminium framed windows, brick front fence and addition to the rear skillion are not appropriate to the style of the residence. It has historic significance for its association with William Henry Eden over at least a forty year period.

Residence (formerly Edenhope) - Physical Description 1
149 Gheringhap Street is a symmetrical double fronted Late Victorian residence with rear skill ion which has a reasonably high degree of integrity despite alterations to the facade. Aluminium framed windows replace the original Victorian sash windows on either side of the central door. The facade features timber beaded boards and exposed timber eaves brackets decorate the fascia. Slender columns and an iron frieze with brackets are notable original verandah details, although the verandah roof and corrugated iron hip roof have both been reclad. The front brick fence and addition to the rear skill ion are not appropriate to the Victorian style of the residence. 149 Gheringhap Street isdifficultto viewfrom the streetbecause oftheheight ofthe unsympatheticfence.The overall form and beaded boards indicate that the residence may be an earlier Victorian building with the addition of a detailed verandah at a later date.
