House, 63 McMahon Street, ST ARNAUD - Physical Description 1
The house at 63 McMahon Street, St. Arnaud, forms part of a group of four Victorian and Federation styled single storey, pitched roof houses.
This house has a front setback of approximately 4 metres, and one wide side setback with concrete driveway. These setbacks are comprised of grassed areas with some perimeter plants, Italian cypress trees and other trees. The front is bound by an introduced tubular steel post and rail and cyclone wire fence, approximately 1 m high.
The symmetrical, single storey, painted brick, Victorian styled house is characterised by a hipped roof form, together with a hipped roof verandah that projects towards the street frontage. These roof forms are clad in painted and lapped galvanised corrugated iron. Two unpainted brick chimneys with cement rendered corbelled tops adorn the roofline. Modest overhangs and timber brackets are features of the eaves.
The symmetrical nature of the design is accentuated by the central door opening with early transom, and flanking timber framed double hung windows. Early or appropriate decorative features of the design include the verandah valance and brackets and the stop chamfered timber columns.
