House, 3 Brisbane Street, ST ARNAUD - Physical Description 1
The site at 3 Brisbane Street has visual connections to the predominantly single storey residential streetscape. The Victorian style of this house suggests that it was constructed in the late 19th or early 20th century.
Situated on a corner allotment, the house at the south-east corner of Brisbane and Canterbury Streets has front setbacks of approximately 5 metres. The frontages are bound by a recent timber picket fence, approximately 1500 mm high. The rudimentary front garden is typical for the area, being characterised by open grassed areas and particularly by the landmark and substantial golden cypress tree.
The single storey, horizontal weatherboard, Victorian styled house is characterised by a dominant hipped roof form that traverses the site, together with a return convex verandah that projects towards the street frontages. These roof forms are clad in lapped galvanised corrugated iron. The verandah has been infilled at the side with timber and glazing. Two early unpainted brick chimneys with rendered tops and terra cotta pots adorn the roofline. Narrow overhangs and timber brackets are features of the eaves.
The early timber framed, triple light, double hung windows on the street facade are symmetrically arranged about an early central, four panelled timber door with side and toplights.
A feature of the design is the early cast iron verandah decoration, notably the valances and brackets, supported by early cast iron columns with decorative capitals.
