RESIDENCE (HOUSE) - Physical Description 1
Description and integrity
No. 25 Stewart Street is located on a sloping site, close to the intersection of Stewart and Barney streets. It supports a small double-fronted timber residence of the mid-1870s with a transverse gabled roof form to the front wing. The roof cladding is recent corrugated metal. There is a plain brick chimney to the south-west of the property, set off the wall of the house. The bullnose verandah is a replacement.
To the rear of the front wing there is a long hipped roof addition extending back into the site. The origins of this are not clear, but it is relatively recessive in views to the property from the street.
The house is oriented at an angle to the street. The reason for this is unclear but there is a possibility it may pre-date the formalisation of Stewart Street in the late-1860s. Such orientation is a characteristic element of miner's cottages, with buildings aligned to dirt tracks to the goldfields before the formal surveying of streets. It is noted, however, that there is no documentary evidence to support this suggestion.
