An attractive house retaining its early character and form. It exhibits many fine features including an elaborate and skilfully executed timber portico and decorative window mouldings. The unusual form of the timber sliding sash windows is noteworthy. These decorative elements enliven the elevations and contribute interest and character to the streetscape.
