Chevy Chase, Brighton, and a sister residence Ratho (later Hiawatha) were erected by two business partners. Built in 1881 Chevy Chase now stands on an area of land much reduced from its original estate. The house features a two storey cast-iron verandah on the north-west and south faces of the building reflecting the form of the two bay windows on the west facade. The house is otherwise dominated by a three storey tower with parapet balustrading and urns intact at each corner.
