The name and date are enscribed in stone above the doorway. In 1861 he extended it with a matching double storey cottage.

Newington is one of the most spectacular rows of terraces along Bendigo’s much celebrated Barnard Street heritage precinct. Overlooking the Queen Elizabeth Oval, this row of two double storey terraces dates back to the early 1870s and was built for James Brierley. Brierley was originally a local stonemason who was responsible for several of Bendigo’s oldest buildings.
