House, 12 Queens Avenue, ST ARNAUD - Physical Description 1
The site at 12 Queens Avenue has visual connections with with other significant Victorian and Edwardian styled, single storey houses along the south end of the Queens Avenue streetscape. It also has a visual connection with the former St. Patrick's Catholic Church building. The Victorian style of this house suggests that it was constructed in the late 19th or early 20th centuries.
The site at 12 Queens Avenue is bound at the front by an introduced painted brick fence with incised rectangular panels, painted brick piers, painted concrete cappings and tubular steel and cyclone wire gate. The house on this house has a front setback of approximately 6 metres, with smaller side setbacks and a side concrete driveway leading to a rear garage. The front garden is characterised by sizeable trees, garden beds, central concrete path and grassed areas.
The symmetrical, single storey, horizontal weatherboard, Victorian styled house is characterised by a simple dominant hipped roof form that traverses the site, together with an ogee form verandah that projects towards the street frontage. These roof forms are clad in galvanised corrugated iron. Two early unpainted brick chimneys with corbelled tops adorn the roofline. Narrow overhangs with timber brackets are features of the eaves.
The symmetry of the design is emphasised at the front by the early timber framed, triple light, double hung windows, which flank a central entrance with an early four panelled timber door with side and toplights.
The verandah is supported by more recent turned timber columns on introduced brick bases with infill brick balustrading. The styling of the verandah brickwork matches the front fence.Heritage Study and Grading
