This small workers cottage was probably constructed in the 1910s, although possibly earlier given its small size. It is clad in rusticated weatherboard with exposed rafters and probably retains its original windows and door - features consistent with a construction date in the 1910s.
The cottage is very similar to nearby 35 Weymouth Street and it's thought they were probably constructed around the same time.
Along with 35 Weymouth, and 4 and 20 Aubrey Street, this cottage is part of probably New Plymouth's most important grouping of surviving small cottages dating from the 1850s to the 1910s.
