Statement of Significance
A typical house, except for its stonework and distinguished occupants; both the stone worker owner and the Labor party occupier representing aspects dear to the heart of Footscray and matters which it represents within the metropolitan area.

House at 9 Hobbs Street - Physical Description 1
Hip-roofed and in the suburban Italianate villa style, the house was built from red and cream bricks, with dressed basalt surrounding openings, in a reversal of a formula current since the 1860-70s (typically stone walls with brick around openings). Attached was a convex- roofed verandah supported by cast-iron columns, with distinctive patterned friezes attached. The verandah paving and basalt retaining walls survive.
