ADELONG - Physical Description 1
'Adelong' at 38 Jeffrey Street, Leongatha is a symmetrical double fronted Victorian timber villa with a M-hip iron roof and areturn deep convex verandah supported by chamfered timber posts. The facade features three sided timber sash bay windows on either side of the front door that has sidelights and highlights, and there are paired eaves brackets separated by timber mouldings. There are three corbelled brick chimneys.
Alterations include the installation oftimber windows in the side and rear elevations, partially infilling of the verandah andthe replacement of the timber verandah floor and post bases with concrete and brick and removal of the ornate cast iron frieze. The front timber picket fence is sympathetic, but not original (an early photograph shows the original scalloped profile picket fence that once graced this property, as well as the original verandah frieze).
