Statement of Interest

The symmetrical arrangement, relatively small window openings and distinctive wide gap between 1st floor windows and eaves suggest an 18th century date for this house; it is probably one of the original houses along Wellington Street which was largely developed during that century. It remains relatively unchanged in layout and retains its harled stacks and crowstepped gables.
