Description:
A two storeyed, single fronted house built in the style of a terrace house. The balcony and verandah have been removed.
History:
"...some rooms had been divided with plaster board, and the original plain front had a balcony and underneath room added....We removed the balcony, and its underneath room, took down any room dividers, unstuck a revolting overmantel which topped a tiny grate....In one little room we eventually, through the cleaning down process, discovered some charming pine panelling.
