Heritage Value Statement

This tall and boxy structure features a two storey projecting front bay and a generous front verandah with square chamfered columns. Set on a large lot, the landscaping includes mature shrubs and rhododendrons. It was most likely built around 1904 by Joseph Dykes, a miner; by 1909 Dykes was listed as a ‘bratticeman’, responsible for timber bracing at the mines. The house is substantially intact, except for the recent application of vinyl siding over the original cladding.
