A substantial elevated brick house of the period transitional from Edwardian to early California Bungalow, built
about 1915(?). It is historically significant to Maroondah as a representative embodiment of rural town family life
in Ringwood immediately after the Great War. It may have been used as a medical surgery for over 80 years. It is
architecturally significant as a rare representation of this transitional style locally.
