DOWLING HOUSE (FORMER) - Physical Description 1
The Dowling House, at 82 Major Road, Fawkner, is a weatherboard Californian bungalow with a rear weatherboard addition, which possibly post-dates the original house. The addition is located to the side rather than directly behind the original house and has a hipped rather than gabled roofline. Both the main house and the addition has a relatively recent red colourbond corrugated galvanised steel roof. The gable ends of the main house have half-timbered, roughcast detailing and notched weatherboard detailing. The front verandah is semi-enclosed with a low brick balustrade and painted rendered tapered piers. The front windows are double hung sashes with multi-pane uppers and a red colourbond corrugated galvanised steel awning. Windows to the side elevation and to the rear addition are double hung sashes. The two unpainted brick chimneys are very squat and hug the roofline.
There appears to be very little landscaping on the property.DOWLING HOUSE (FORMER) - Physical Conditions
