Profile
Situated at the corner of O’Neils Road and Drower Street, this 1890s villa utilises timber weatherboard walls, front verandah and double hung sash windows and a hipped roof with a square fronted bay. A finial crowns the front gable. The house is set amidst trees and a garden.
It is on Allotment 223 of the 1914-1916 gumfields subdivision, and does not appear on footprint at that spot (there was a small building further back on the section).
