The building has historic value for its association with early settlers, the Sinclair family. The place is also of historic value as a demonstration of early construction methods which used clay from the site to make bricks. The place has aesthetic value as it is a good example of the Victorian Georgian style.
Extended single storey brick residence with an asbestos cladding extension. The main dwelling has polychromatic brickwork set in Flemish bond. A red brick chimney with colonial style flue, iron hipped roof and a skillion verandah roof. Open verandah to front elevation with timber posts.
J.B. Sinclair had a number of Avon properties acquired for him by his father. This property became the home of his eldest son, James Sinclair. His son, Ernest George Sinclair was born here in 1870. James Sinclair died in 1888 in Albany. The house was believed to have been constructed from bricks fired on the site.
