House 'Edale' - Physical Description 1
The house at 99 Albert Street is an example of a highly ornate, hipped-roof Federation residence in Sebastopol. The house is clad in weatherboards with a band of notched boards that sit, unusually, just below the eaves. The roof has recently been reclad in corrugated metal.
The front portion of the house has a projecting jettied gable bay, with an additional gablet that sits above the verandah, both with timber finials and half-timbering on ripple iron. The return verandah is a continuation of the roofline, as is typical of the Federation style. The verandah and roof of the middle section of the building have exposed rafter ends.
Typical of Federation buildings, a timber verandah frieze is supported by timber posts with stop-chamfering, some of which have been replaced. The verandah floor has been replaced with concrete. A panelled door appears to the left of the projecting bay, with a sidelight and fanlight. To the right of the projecting bay is a pair of casement windows with three small panes above one large pane (this window form is repeated on the side elevations). Centred in the projecting bay is a box window with a pair of tall casement windows, with pressed metal detail below them.
The middle portion of the house has a hipped roof and a red brick chimney with chamfered sides and a corbelled top that is partially rendered. On the roof, metal ridge decoration appears to be later additions, though the crest on the top of the central pyramidal hip may be original. Later lean-to additions have been added to the rear of the house.
