The two storey brick and tile mansion with its cast iron filigree verandahs is of cultural heritage significance because: - the place is an exemplar of Federation Filigree style; - the place is one of the finest two storey mansions in the district; - the place has associations with notable pastoralist, James Sharpe, and manufacturer, Plaistow, from different periods in the suburb's development; - the place is an integral part of a cultural group and townscape area. This handsome mansion has retained most of its integrity externally and is one of the finest two storey dwellings in the district. The place is a cornerstone of the Forrest Street west cultural heritage group & townscape precinct. Smypathic restoration and additions by I & S Trahar The place is an examplar of the Federation Filigree style, where the lightness and elegance of the cast iron verandahs, effectively contrasts and enlivensthe large brick and tile mass of the house.
