House - 'Montazah', 25 Dundas Street, ST ARNAUD - Physical Description 1
The former Montazah hospital, 25 Dundas Street, St Arnaud has a moderate set back form the street on a relatively flat site. The property has no front fence and is in a grassed setting with some small bushes.
The house has two longitudinal gable roofs with hipped roof behind. The gables run parallel with the street. The steeply pitched roofs are clad in painted corrugated galvanised steel. There are two cylindrical roof vents and two painted brick chimneys one each side of the front gable section. The chimneys have three bands of stepped corbelled bricks as decoration. The building has a skillion verandah across the street facade. It has exposed rafter ends, square, plain posts and cast iron brackets and short lengths of cast iron frieze. It would appear that the verandah has been reconstructed in the inter war years and the cast iron sections are a recent addition.
The front section of the building under the first gable is of brick (now painted), the rear gable and hipped section are of square edged weatherboards. The front has a central doorway with transom light above and there is a single, timber framed, double hung window on either side of the doorway. The windows have painted render or stone sills.
