History
Luxmoore and 38 Cliff St were built by Mr Green in 1898. In 1953, Mr W L Marshall purchased the house. The original house was constructed of rough hewn weatherboard walls and corrugated iron roof, using mortice and tenon joints for the main structure and framework and with square headed nails and elevated on bush stumps. It is a two bedroom dwelling with a dining room, sitting room and kitchen and with a central passage. At the front and rear of the houses are verandahs. The house has 2 chimneys. Internally, the walls and ceilings have been lined with tongue and groove pine boards. The windows are double hung timber sash.
