Description
No 26 on Holders Road is an experimental smallholder's dwelling built between 1919 and 1920 by the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research for the Board of Agriculture and Fisheries, with architect W.R. Jaggard. The building features colourwashed rendered cob on high brick sill walls and a Roman tiled roof. It is two storeys tall and has two bays, with the entrance located in a single-storey wing on the south side. The entrance consists of a three-panelled door, and the windows are timber with wide timber lintels and brick chamfered sills. There is a partly external stack with tiled shoulders. This house is one of the original five experimental houses designed to demonstrate cost-effective construction using local materials and traditional methods. The cob was originally exposed but was rendered later.
