Built c.1915. Located at 63 Railway Street, Mount Druitt.

Nils (Neil) Hermans Jonsson, naturalised to the English version of Johnson, arrived from Malmo in Sweden in 1912 and purchased the block in 1914. The building and its surrounds were used extensively as a market garden.

A single storey weatherboard house with gable ended roof and front and side verandahs which are supported by trellised columns. The entrance to the house is marked with a small gable and integrated into the verandah roof.

The property was recently restored by Mission Australia as part of the Federal Government's "Work for the Dole" scheme.
