House, 2 Golden Street, ST ARNAUD - Physical Description 1
The house at 2 Golden Street, St. Arnaud is set on a large allotment and has substantial front and side setbacks. The site is bound at the front by a hedge and there is a driveway at the side. Other early plantings are evident in the front yard.
The symmetrical, single storey, horizontal weatherboard, unusual interwar Bungalow styled house is characterised by a dominant gambrel roof form, together with a broken back verandah at the front. These roof forms are clad in galvanised corrugated iron. Wide overhangs are a feature of the eaves. Two painted early brick chimneys with simple cappings are situated at the side and adorn the roofline.
The symmetry of the design is identified in the central recessed entrance which has an early timber and glazed door, early timber framed screen door and timber framed high and side lights. The entrance is flanked by timber framed double hung boxed windows with highlights, arranged in banks of three.
A feature of the design is the front verandah and the decorative timber fretwork valance and plain timber brackets supported by timber columns. An early stuccoed brick pier and balustrade are situated at one end, while the remaining verandah is bound by a capped timber balustrade. The balustrade is punctuated by early concrete steps and flanking base walls and piers.
