Double fronted weatherboard house, built prior to 1864. Owned and occupied by Samuel Cane, a cooper. The oldest surviving building in Grosvenor St. At 13 Grosvenor St. is a 1867 double fronted brick house. Originally just two rooms, it has a skillion-roofed rear section. Tuck-pointed brickwork has been overpainted. Bluestone windowsills. Veranda posts and balustrade are not original. Lived in by Edward Muller, a brickmaker, for over 50 years. Second-oldest extant house in the street, a rare surviving example of a modest worker’s cottage in this district.
