OLINDA - Physical Description 1
An unpretentious, early Edwardian brick cottage, with a double-fronted hip-roof and some elements transitional from Italianate. The right bay is set forward, with a tripartite window, with fluted Tuscan mullions. There are two terra-cotta finials and fretwork cornice-brackets. The bullnosed verandah is in the angle, with flat cast-iron lace valence and brackets. There is a rare intact-garden layout. It has a diamond pattern on both sides of the central path of encaustic geometric tiles, with terra-cotta edging tiles. There is a very rare Edwardian timber archway over the pedestrian gate. It is shallow arched, with fretwork members on two Gothic posts. The fence-posts are similar and the gate is metal ribbon and chain-link. The chain-link is possibly later, but not necessarily. The house is characteristic, however, the fence archway is very rare. The garden layout is also uncommon.
The chimney and walls are painted. The adjoining garage and window-blind are not appropriate and the verandah-floor is concrete and ceramic tiled.Heritage Study and Grading
