Black and white photo shows a single-storey double-fronted house. There is a verandah to one side with timber posts and freize which shelters the front door and a single window.  The projecting bay on the other side features a tripartite window set under a gable roof trimmed with decorative bargeboards.

In 1902 a second storey was added to the house.

The photo has been mounted on black painted chipboard and laminated.
