STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE
Architecturally unremarkable with obvious Edwardian-era intervention.
Historically, little certain is known of the house, except its symbolic back street siting and simple form, both expressive of an early date.. Historically, one of a small group of 1850s houses in Geelong.
Architecturally, an unusual construction type (possibly pre-fabricated) with valuable details including the beaded boards.

Residence - Physical Description 1
Simple in form (double-fronted, hopped roof) and timber clad, this house's age is implied by simple form and materials also its near on-street, back lane siting. However, its more ornate verandah details are expressive of the Edwardian period and presumably this was added for Joseph Patridge.
Probably reconstruction of the verandah (as above) and replacement of the front fence.
Sited in a service land to one of Geelong's more impressive residential streets (Pevensey Crescent), it both evokes a sense of age and is complimentary to teh adjacent, dominantly Victorian-era residences.
Residence - Physical Description 2
Partly intact, from indicative of early construction date. Beadedweatherboards, hipped roof clad in corrugated metal sheeting, timbersash windows, highlight to door, altered hipped verandah with timberbrackets, brick chimney (now painted).
