“This timber house, constructed for Charlotte Morton in 1900, replaced an earlier brick house, that was possibly destroyed by fire. It is a three gabled composition with the central larger gable recessed and a verandah connects the two pavilion wings. The cast iron frieze work is of a late character. There is intact leadlighting to the windows with hood moulds over. The gable valence boards are plain surmounted by a delicate timber finial. The fence was added at a later date, possibly c. 920. The adjoining timber stable is similar in execution but in poor condition. This building is important in a local context. It is one of the few intact and finely detailed early timber houses in North Fitzroy.” (North Fitzroy Conservation Study 1978, p.93). (Glossary)
