General notes:

Grading as at 1999 - CPeriod - Mid-Early VictorianA double-storey Victorian terrace-style house, constructed in bluestone with a rendered facade. The hipped slate roof is concealed behind a parapet with a decorative frieze, and is penetrated by two rendered brick chimneys with corbelled cappings. There is a double-storey verandah to the front with a concave profile roof. The facade has three timber-framed double-hung sash windows to the upper level, and two to the lower level. The house retains its cast iron fence. It is of local historical and aesthetic importance. Erected in the mid-1860s, it demonstrates an early and important phase of residential settlement in the area. It is one of few remaining more substantial houses which were erected in the stretch of Dudley Street directly opposite the Flagstaff Gardens. Prominently sited on a corner, with its distinctive bluestone side wall to Milton Street, the house makes a significant contribution to the streetscape.
