Appraisal
Built as a one of a pair, which forms part of a group of three pairs, this house is one of a number of similarly designed houses built overlooking the Owenboy River in the late nineteenth century. These houses are a reminder of the fashion at the time for sea side living, both full time and for holidays. It has retained several historic features including a well-proportioned gabled breakfront, slate roof and original fenestration pattern.
