Statement of Significance
This house, being of brick construction, is unusual among Northcote's early dwellings. It also has been linked with a figure known across the metropolitan area (Scott) and one of the city's early providers (Toennies). It also contributes to the 19th and early 20th century character of the High Street southern approach to Northcote.

42 High Street - Physical Description 1
42 High Street is a double-fronted Flemish bond brick house with a hipped roof, cast-iron details and a bullnose roof verandah, the side walls of which are built from different brickwork to that of the house. It is likely that Wyatt replaced the original verandah when he purchased the house in c1902. Beside the house is a basalt pitched laneway which leads to an original stables and coach-house building at the rear, possibly being connected with Toennies' original dairy.
Alterations include the replacement of the front fence with a chain wire timber-framed fence. The pergolas at the gateways, presumably from the 1920s, are notable.
