The house is constructed of bluestone and red brick with attractive terracotta tile friezes visible on the front wall, and geometrically patterned brick window surrounds. It was built in 1890.
The builder was Edward Pemberton, originally a carpenter trained near Manchester, who worked as a contract builder in Adelaide. In the 1890′s be bought four acres and scattered single allotments in this block of land bounded by Portrush and Beulah Roads to the West and North, and Vine and Glyde Streets to the East and South. Here, until the turn of the century, he designed and built a series of single and attached houses for rental in the cottage ornee style of his youth, constructed and decorated with painstaking care. He used the distinctive local dark red bricks hand made at Reedy’s Brickyard, formerly in nearby Howard Street, and lavished a variety of ornamentation upon his creations.
