A timber framed, single-storey cottage, typical of the early days of New Plymouth settlement. Located in an area known as Devonport - the area loosely bound by St Aubyn, Dawson, Young and Queen Streets.
It was described in the NPDC Heritage Study (1995) as having "great historical significance as it provides a tangible link with the early years of the settlement....one of the few examples left (and the only one in the central city)".
In April 1998 it was moved off its site and relocated to 564 Mangorei Road.
Town Section 610, Taranaki Land Deed Index I3 Page 52 and I3 Pages 69 and 70.
