Appraisal
This house makes an interesting contribution to the built heritage of Myrtleville village, set on top of a small cliff directly looking out over the bay. It was built a time when the pleasures of the sea and seaside where growing in popularity, and the new, modern style of architecture was employed to maximise views and sunlight. The flat roof, clean lines and large windows were radical features at the time of its construction.
