  The residence is a two-storey rendered brick cottage with tiled roof. It is generally in quite good condition except for the internal cracking which is quite extensive and the roof which is in poor condition due to damage to the roof from hail in February 2020.

  The 2004 advice from John Skurr, structural engineer, made the following comment:

    1. the overland flow of the surface stormwater was not satisfactory in itself and is also concluded as the most likely cause of the general cracking in the external and internal brick walls.

  (EMAA 2018)

    b.     cracked internal and external brick walls especially in the stairwell area.

    c.      floor joist and bearer spans for office rather than domestic floor loadings, these proved to be marginally satisfactory.

  In 2006 the external walls were underpinned and drainage around the building improved. The internal cracks have returned but externally it is sound.

  The Residence is now used by ANU as a research centre and offices. This has been achieved without alterations to the plan of the building.

  Externally the building is rendered and painted with stepped detailing to bay window and main room window and entry. The top of the chimney is also finely detailed. The roof is a hipped terracotta tiled roof with metal gutter and downpipes.

  Typically the interior is rendered and painted walls, plaster or asbestos cement sheet ceilings, and carpeted floors. Original profiled timber cornices, picture rails, architraves and skirtings remain in most rooms. These are now dark paint finished. The interior of the residence was repainted in 2006.

  Fireplaces exist in several living rooms with fine detailing to surrounds.

  The main bathroom and two toilets retain original floor and wall tiling. The only
