Read source trail🏭 Heritage-listed building
Built: c.1790 · NIAH rating: Regional
Although it has been somewhat altered, this well proportioned Georgian house retains much of its early form and fabric. It stands out from others on the street due to its render detailing and attractive timber shopfront, enlivened by scrolled consoles, adding both aesthetic and contextual interest to the façade. Queen Street in the late eighteenth century was considered a respectable middle class location, its Georgian houses built to replace the older Dutch Billy variety, and to house tradesmen, doctors and lawyers.
