It was commissioned by Robert Drurie, a Draper at West Wallsend who purchased Lot 20 Holmesville from Joseph Holmes in 1903. Architectural features include a magnificent wrought iron lacework balcony panels of which bear a foundry stamp of 1899. The exterior has remained the same since construction with the exception of the addition of tiles to the front facade around 1914, and the loss of the terracotta pot from the chimney on the Northern end of building. This pot was dislodged in the Pasha Bulker storm of 2007. The original staircase remains, as do the metal ceilings.
