MILANO (THE HARBOUR) - Physical Description 1
20 Cohuna Street, Brunswick West, is a two storey rendered brick Italianate mansion, asymmetrical in form, with a projecting faceted bay extending the full height of the building and a tower centrally placed above the entrance. The bay is enriched with moulded festoons, vermiculated panels, bosses and string courses, and the windows have bracketed sills. A return verandah with corrugated iron cladding extends from the bay, with swag-bellied continuous cast iron balustrading and a cast iron frieze on both levels. The parapets of both the house and tower are balustraded, with moulded cornices and urns. Windows are timber-framed double-hung sashes.
The 1998 restoration and renovation program involved the removal of verandah cladding, and the construction of a large two storey wing to the rear of the house and a large timber pergola to the south. The front fence also appears to be new. Substantially landscaping work has taken place, but three large palms have been retained in the front garden.
At the rear of the house are brick stables and on the south side a timber school building (c.1910s).
