History and Style:

This house was built as a newlywed home for Walter Edwards and his bride in the 1890’s.  Built with a hipped gable roof and verandah, this house also has whimsical fretwork, pendants, and brackets along its façade.  There is a faceted dormer window centred over a bay window that bisects the verandah, the right side of which is enclosed and forms part of the interior.  The house is one and a half stories, with a one story shed added to the rear.
