Statement of Significance
- The battened roughcast gable ends with their sweeping ogee overlay battens.
- The three part casement and hopper windows in the projecting gables.
- The turned verandah posts and cast-iron frieze and brackets.
- The wide blocking course below the eaves.
- Shingled weatherboard dados.
Aesthetically, it is a large and superior example in the Shire of a transitional Victorian-Federation villa. It is also of interest as one of the dwellings that may be tentatively ascribed to local builder, Oscar Peterson. (AHC criterion - E.1)
