Heritage attributes

The Stock House is a representative example of Craftsman style house. The house was built in 1918 with Craftsman elements such as: high side gabled roof that extends over a large front verandah; asymmetrical façade; wooden shingle cladding on the upper storey and brick cladding on the lower storey; bay windows on the front façade and north elevation; and a large, deep front verandah with round wooden porch pillars on lakestone piers. The building has been well maintained with many of its original features intact, making it a good representative example of the Craftsman style.
