House, 9 Victoria Street, ST ARNAUD - Physical Description 1
The house at 9 Victoria Street has visual connections with the St. Arnaud Railway Station. The house has a large front setback of approximately 10 metres, and smaller side setbacks. The front garden is typically rudimentary, with a central oval grassed area and flower bed, bound by concrete paths. Other perimeter gardens are location along the sides and immediately in front of the house.
The asymmetrical, single storey, horizontal weatherboard, eclectic Late Victorian and Edwardian styled house is characterised by a recessed hipped roof form that traverses the site, together with a gable roof and return bullnosed verandah that project towards the street frontage. These roof forms are clad in dark red painted galvanised corrugated iron. Two early unpainted brick chimneys with corbelled tops adorn the roofline. Narrow overhangs with paired timber brackets, panelling and paterae are features of the eaves.
The front facade has early timber framed, triple light, double hung windows, and an early timber framed doorway with side and highlights.
An unusual decorative feature of the design is the sinuous, organic Art Nouveau-like relief that adorns the bargeboards of the projecting gable. This house is one of only two in St. Arnaud with this type of decoration (the house being located at 13 Queens Avenue, St. Arnaud). Another feature is the verandah decoration, notably the valances and brackets, and the columns with decorative capitals. The steel balustrade is a later addition, as are possibly the concrete steps.
