Jolimont, Jolimont Terrace 018, The Crib
An unusual turn of the century design, asymmetrical in form and using Queen Anne materials of red brick, roughcast, shingles and terracotta tiles. There is some Art Nouveau influence in the verandah piers which extent beyond the eaves and in the decorative treatment applied to the name and the piers. The garden form is intact and the colour scheme is appropriate. [i-Heritage, link below]
Old street number: 34
This house was built as one of a matching pair in 1859 for Charles Hotson Ebden. On Ebden's death in 1867 his son, Charles John Ebden, inherited the house. He and his mother and sisters had moved to England after Ebden's death and Charles jnr. was very much an absentee landlord.
