Appraisal
A vernacular house built after the Dowra to Glangevlin road was laid out in the latter part of the nineteenth century. The house is an example of the direct-entry plan type, and may originally have been thatched. It retains its traditional appearance with lime-washed stone walls, blank rear elevation, and historic windows, as well as the traditional setting for vernacular houses close to the roadside.
