Description
No. 60 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 is constructed of brick in stretcher bond with irregular headers, likely featuring a cavity wall, and has a tiled roof. It is two storeys high and has two bays. The entrance is located at the west gable end, featuring a 20th-century door set within a moulded timber frame, flanked by 6-pane sash windows. The front of the house has 9 and 12-pane sash windows, with a brick soldier course and brick sills. The roof is hipped, with gablets and boxed eaves, and there is a central brick chimney stack. At the rear, there is a single storey section. Inside, the first floor is made of precast concrete, and the roof tiles are nailed to battens and boarded under the rafters. This house is one of the original five experimental houses designed to demonstrate cost savings through the use of local materials and innovative building methods.
