Statement of Significance

The place is of imposing architectural design of the period. It is a large brick and iron residence, successfully restored, set in pleasant grounds and complimented by nearby Norfolk Island pines. It represents a style of life no longer practised.

Physical Description

This large brick and iron residence stands framed by tall pine trees. Its many rooms have access onto the wide verandahs by french doors and have large windows with views to the nearby ocean. The large and complicated roof clearly defines each living area below and angled gables to both streets are timber decorated. Small finials adorn the roof. The turned timber verandah columns along the delicate timber balustrade and barge board infill add an air of lightness to this substantial house.
