Wallace House - Physical Description 1
Wallace House is a substantial timber house situated to the west of the small centre of Seville, in a semi rural setting. The land surrounding the house is largely cleared, and the siting of the house in the hilly terrain makes it visible from the road making it a local landmark. A number of mature trees are located close to the house, including a mature cordyline to the south. Isolated sections of a low, plain picket fence remain on the Wallace Street property boundary.
Wallace House dates from the turn of the century and is a square plan timber house built in the Federation style. It has a combination of steeply sloped hipped and gable roofs with a return verandah and decorative timber work. The verandah extends from the projecting gable roofed section to the south-east corner along three side of the house. Its roof is an extension of the main hipped roof, with a shallower slope, and has a bullnose profile. This makes the roof the most dominant feature of the house. A modern addition built in the same style as the historic house extends from the east elevation around a courtyard garden.
Decorative elements include projecting bay windows, located on the south-west corner of the house beneath the verandah roof, and the separately roofed bay on the projecting wing facing Wallace Road. The bay windows each have a set of four rectangular, timber frame casement windows with square highlights, while the windows located elsewhere are double casements with similar highlight windows. A small porthole window is located adjacent to the main entrance. The verandah balustrade is constructed from panels of plain timber pickets between regularly spaced, turned timber posts.Wallace House - Physical Conditions
