House, 27 Queens Avenue, ST ARNAUD - Physical Description 1
The site at 27 Queens Avenue has visual connections with other significant, predominantly Victorian styled, single storey houses in the residential and partly tree-lined streetscapes of Queens Avenue and of Inkerman Street between Queens Avenue and Canterbury Street. It is also visually connected to the significant urban foci of the Christ Anglican Church and Christ Anglican Church hall (a former denominational school) in Queens Avenue. The house is generally in accord with the form, scale, style and setbacks of the significant houses visually connected to it. The Victorian style of the house suggests that it was constructed in the late 19th century.
The front of the site is bound by an introduced brick and timber front fence, which curves at the centre forming a gateway. Side gates provide access to the driveway. The landscaping consists of recent shrubbery and flanking garden beds with gravel paths.
The symmetrical, single storey, unpainted dichromatic brick, Victorian styled house is characterised by a simple, dominant hipped roof form and hipped roof verandah that projects at the front. These roof forms are clad in lapped galvanised corrugated iron. Two early rendered/painted brick chimneys with projecting tops adorn the roofline. Narrow overhangs are a feature of the eaves. Early timber framed, triple light, double hung windows are symmetrically arranged about a central entrance.
Early decorative features of the design include the cream brick quoinwork and bands, and the cast iron verandah decoration (valance, brackets and round columns with decorative capitals).
