Statement of Significance

The place is part of the significant townscape setting of St George's Tce.
The place is an important component in the stock of colonial architecture of Perth.
The place has a close association with Richard Roach Jewell, who was responsible for the design of a large number of public buildings in this period.
The place is held in high regard in the community as an aesthetically pleasing piece of convict architecture.
The place is one of a small group of convict built buildings extant in central Perth and illustrates the character of the mid-nineteenth century colonial townscape of Perth prior to the gold rushes, much of which was demolished or altered in the subsequent boom period of the 1980's.
