This villa, located on Town Section 101, is present in the background of a photograph dated August 1896. The villa was probably constructed in mid 1896 by C. Rielly, who purchased Town Section 101 in July 1896 from Frederick Alonzo Carrington.

The villa is clad in rusticated weatherboard, and it retains some of its original two-pane double hung sash windows.
