HOUSE - Physical Description 1
The house at 67 Major Road, Fawkner, is an Edwardian weatherboard villa of typical design. Asymmetrical in plan, it has a pyramidal hip roof with a gablet at the apex and a two projecting gable-fronted bays (one to the facade, the other on the east side). The projecting gable to the front has half-timbering above a projecting box bay window with triple side-hung casement windows with colour-glass highlights beneath a skillion window hood. There is a convex profile verandah, which returns between the projecting gables and is supported by carved timber posts with decorative timber brackets and a 'ladder' frieze. The front door has sidelights and highlights. There are two tall corbelled brick chimneys and a smaller chimney at the rear.
The house is in good condition and has a high degree of external integrity. The front picket fence is sympathetic, but not original.Heritage Study and Grading
