Originally a single-storey double-fronted house with verandah, and stable. Now very much altered with a second storey added, and a garage in front of the stable.
History:
107 Powlett Street was built in 1863 by James Nation for Vincent Matthew Wylly (sometimes erroneously Wylie or Wyley). It had five rooms, a kitchen and bathroom and a garden on its western side.
In 1867 Wylly commissioned James Nation to build a small cottage on the garden site. This is now numbered 153 Gipps Street.
