A wrought steel balustrade spans between the columns. The half-timbered gable bay features a pair of double hung sash windows. There is a central door and hopper light flanked by double hung sash windows. The southern part of the return verandah has been enclosed with glazed louvres. The roofscape features render capped chimneys. The original detail has to some extent been lost by rendering.
The place retains its form and details. There are additions to the rear and a garage to the south of the house.
The place is consistent with the building pattern in the Precinct. The place plays an important role in the pattern of development of a middle class suburb.

History

Woodside is a relatively cohesive precinct where most of the places were constructed following the subdivision of W.D. Moore’s Estate commencing in 1912. Most of the lots were sold between 1912 and 1929 and the majority of buildings were completed in this time. Residences were substantial and of various Federation period styles distinguishing the area from the small worker’s cottages of Plympton. The Inter-War Bungalow style residence is also represented in Woodside.

The Woodside Precinct remains largely intact in terms of original housing with little infill subdivision or replacement housing.

The place was first owned by James Pollock Lohoar (1905-1910) and later occupied by Andrew Thomson (1911-1924). Ownership was subsequently followed by two generations of the Owen Family.
