Physical Description

A symmetrical small single storey brick and iron cottage with a front verandah with bell cast canopy, lattice balustrading and centrally placed steps. The brickwork is laid in Flemish bond creating a polychrome pattern and English garden wall bond to side elevation. The window and door arches consist of two rows of header bricks, one row each of dark and light bricks. The end voussoirs are stretcher bricks of the darker colour. An extension to rear is brick and iron elevation with a skillion roof.
Very poor condition.The building has been stabilised at the side. There is evidence of brickwork damage and the loss of verandah balustrades and the roof requires attention. The windows are boarded up with protective grills.

History
