Statement of Significance

The building is associated with a Mr Scrimengour J.P. who lived there and probably built it. It is also a fine a
example on an individual interwar style in almost original condition.

Physical Description

Substantial interwar house stradling two blocks facing a treed park. Built c.1920-25 high on Claremont Hill
with rear views to the ocean. An eclectic mix of Georgian, and other revival styles. Terracotta roof tiles,
tuckpointed brickwork, columned portico and an asymmetric gable roof with two projecting bay windows
roofed with jerkin head gables make an individual statement. The upper of the sash windows are
multi-paned decorative clear glass with inset rondels/cameos. Pebbledash is applied to the timbered
eaves and above the three sided bay windows. Brick sills, plain chimney shaft and rendered string
course are other decorative details. Louvred inserts fill the east/west gables. The eaves are slatted to
allow circulation of breeze. West wall has had some subsidence but there appears to have been little or
no renovation.
