House, 100 Main Street, GREAT WESTERN - Physical Description 1
The house at 100 Main Street, Great Western, makes a significant architectural contribution to the single storey, pitched roof central township area. This house is set on an average-sized residential allotment, with a substantial front setback of approximately 10 metres. There is a substantial garden with many flower beds, shrubs and trees. The front is bound by a timber picket fence, approximately 1200 mm high.
The symmetrical, single storey, horizontal weatherboard and partially brick, Late Victorian styled house is characterised by a hipped roof form, together with a skillion verandah that projects towards the street frontage. These roof forms are clad in galvanised corrugated iron. Narrow overhangs are features of the eaves. Under the front verandah (which is supported by introduced square timber columns) is an early centrally located timber framed doorway with an early four panelled timber door. It is flanked by two early timber framed double hung windows.
