History and Description

Mitchell House is a substantial double Victorian terrace building in the brown brick style that is characteristic of the Camden town centre. It has a stone verandah on the ground floor but the cast-iron balustrading on the upstairs verandah.

The house has a shingled hip roof and brick chimneys. The ground floor verandah has sandstone arches between the two entrance doors. The entrance doors are timber with a stained glass panel and stained glass highlight windows.

The windows are four-pane double-hung timber-framed windows with the top two panes being arched. There are timber shutters to the first-floor windows, and the windows and doors on both floors have sandstone flat arches. The first-floor verandah has a corrugated metal bullnose roof. (NSWSHI)

The house was built by the Furner family of builders in the 1860's possibly for their two sons. (Wrigley 1983)
