Statement of Significance

The site is historically significant (as the location of the Gingin store) architecturally as it contains a good example of an early large dwelling in this area and environmentally as a group of structures which, with other significant buildings defines the townsite.

Physical Description

Consists of a single level dwelling with a two level extension. Both portions are of Flemish bond brick construction with CGI roofing, (over shingles on the single level part of the building). The dwelling is in good condition with few alterations or additions.
Detached from the house is a brick structure which was built for use as a store. Also on the site, approx 40m away from the house is a shed approximately the same age as the other buildings. The two subsidiary structures had minor alterations but are, otherwise in rasonably good condition.
