Description: 
The building possesses an asymmetrical plan with a bayed front room and a verandah fronting the balance of the façade. Most of its decorative impact is confined to the parapet entablature.

At the time he died in 1900 he owned 40 properties, mainly in the inner suburbs including his large timber yard in Fitzroy, but also some in regional Victoria, however Albert Street was not among them.
