General notes:
Grading as at 1985 : CPeriod : Mid Victorian (1882)Grantee : J Huggins 1865When this house was built between 1882 and 1885, Sam Cullen the builder and owner moved over from 32 Eades Place where he had been residing. He remained the owner/occupier for at least the following 10 years.A two-storey stuccoed brick house with a cast-iron verandah and iron picket fence. Detail is sparse but includes opening-architraves, sill brackets and a cornice. The verandah roof is concave and the house roof line parapetted. The whole appears earlier than the documented date, with the iron verandah added later, much in the style of the other Cullen buildings in Eades Place. Notable features include the fence, verandah decoration, verandah roof and structure. Chimney appears earlier.Architecturally, it is of little individual importance, except at a simple evocation of the period, but obtains importance from its streetscape contribution: of regional importance. Historically, associated with Sam Cullen, one of the brothers who virtually built this entire streetscape and an owner-builder which is typical of the study area: of regional interest. It is a conributive part of a highly cohesive and early residential streetscape.
