George Wright likely purchased the land and house from John Melerson, demolished the original building, and constructed a new one. "Old Law" memorials can provide details on the date of transfer and purchase price. Notable alterations occurred in 1871 and 1917, inferred from £10 rate increases, though the specific improvements are speculative.Additional rate increases in 1864 and between 1921–1931 matched general valuation rises in the area. Thomas Hawkey lived at the address from at least 1866, with family events recorded there through the 1870s. His financial success later enabled him to build another house in 1882.

The property is a six-roomed brick cottage from circa 1864.Notable features include arched door and window openings, French windows, and a timber front verandah (though the original trim is missing).The roof is constructed with massive King posts and Butt purlins, considered architecturally interesting.
