The two buildings, originally owned by Police Constable Sterley, date from about 1840, and together with the adjacent house at 7 Castle Hill, are typical examples of early English Settler Architecture of their time. This was restored with some alterations in 1974 by the architect Hurbert TANTON. It was built at the same period as the Parsonage House Museum. They were declared a National Monument under old NMC legislation on 2 November 1973.
