Inscription. An integral part of the streetscape of Queen's Road, this three storey semi-detached house is built of stone with a brick facade. The building is of architectural note for its use of masonry in the construction of a private residence, and for its five-sided Scotch dormer. The original structure was damaged in the Great Fire of 1892, and while the structural walls remained intact, the interior had to be rebuilt.

Erected by Newfoundland and Labrador Heritage Foundation.
