House, 27 Millett Street, ST ARNAUD - Physical Description 1
The house at 27 Millett Street, St. Arnaud, is set on a large allotment, with both wide front and side setbacks. These setbacks are characterised by grassed areas punctuated with shrubs and trees.
The single storey, unpainted brick, late Federation styled house is characterised by a broad gambrel roof form, together with a broken back verandah that encircles the house and a verandah gable that projects towards the front. These roof forms are clad in lapped galvanised corrugated iron. Two early and elongated unpainted brick chimneys with terra cotta pots adorn the roofline. Wide overhangs with exposed rafters are features of the verandah eaves.
Under the verandah are early banks of timber framed casement windows, a portal window, and an early timber framed doorway.
A distinctive feature of the design is the encircling verandah which is supported by paired timber columns on unpainted brick piers. A stuccoed brick balustrade with unpainted brick capping and vertical rectangular openings forms the verandah boundary. Another early decorative feature is the shingling in the verandah gable end.
