Statement of Significance

Although this site has been somewhat degraded through alteration, the werf wall and well structure are very significant features in the context of the winelands. The site as a whole still retains historical, architecural, contextual and scenic significance.

Landscape Significance

The row of Oak trees originally found in front of the building has been re-planted with new oaks.
