Appraisal
This house was built to accommodate officers stationed in the adjacent barracks. The scale and design are distinctive and the building retains features such as tiled floors throughout its interior, and some timber sash windows. The façade of the house is further enlivened by the render detailing to the gable-front, the semicircular window and the simple but decorative porch with obvious Classical references. The ordnance stone adjacent to the house is a typical feature of military barracks, marking the boundaries of the precinct.
