This single storey "blood and bandages", Queen Anne style
of merchant's residence, has cultural heritage significance
because:
it is a fine and representative example of the Federation
Queen Anne style;
it is part of a group of merchants residences built in the
first decade of this century;
the group is part of a wider townscape area;
the residence, group and area reflect a significant phase
of the social developmentof the suburb
This is a fine example of the Queen Anne style, although its
verandah has lost decorative details to offset the boldness of
the blood and bandages wall treatment. The residence is
given prominence through its symmetrical street facade being
raised above a tennis court.
This residence is a textbook example of the Queen Anne
style, which lacks the adaptations to local conditions shown
in the neighbouring residence at No 138.
This site reflects a significant phase of the social development
of the suburb. Some social significance.
