A fine two storey tuckpointed brick (possibly polychromatic) residence with render string courses, hood mouldings and eaves brackets. There is a Gothic arched entry porch with tessellated tile floor. The ground floor windows have semi circular arches with Gothic hoods springing from the string course. The first floor openings are segmental with a punctuated string above.
On 30 April 1868 architect Geo R Johnson advertised for tenders for the ‘erection of bluestone basement to villa residence’. The successful tender was soon chosen and on 11 May Charles Rippon advised the City Council that John Pigdon, builder of Faraday Street, Carlton would build for him foundations for a house.
