Appraisal
A house identified as an integral component of the vernacular heritage of Newbawn by such attributes as the compact rectilinear direct entry plan form; the construction in unrefined local materials displaying a battered silhouette; and the high pitched roof originally showing a thatch finish according to an entry in the "House and Building Return" Form of the National Census (NA 1901; NA 1911).
