The Stone House

108 Derby Street, WESTPORT

Private

Historic Place Category 2

List No. 7191

Quick links:
List GalleryLocationDetails
The architectural significance of this Westport house lies with its radical form of construction for its time. It is built of hollow concrete blocks, rusticated on the exterior surface to represent stone on the ground floor and ashlar or smooth finish on the first storey to represent masonry. This is one of only a few known examples from this period. The house is a two storey Italianate styled bay window villa, many examples of which are on the national register constructed in timber.
