House, 15 Childe Street, STAWELL - Physical Description 1
The house at 15 Childe Street, Stawell, is set on a corner allotment with open grassed frontages adorned with shrubs, exotic trees and perimeter garden beds. The frontages are bound by an early brick fence, with brown brick piers and cappings, cream brick infill and decorative brown brick cross patterns.
The asymmetrical, elevated predominantly single storey, cream brick, interwar Bungalow styled house is characterised by a broad and steeply pitched hipped roof form that traverses the site, together with minor gables and an attic gable that project towards the street frontages. These roof forms are clad in early tiles. Two elongated cream brick chimneys adorn the roofline. Wide overhangs are features of the eaves.
An early feature of the design is the verandah formed under the main roof fronting Childe Street. It returns and forms a long tiled window hood for the windows under the project gables. The verandah is supported by round tapered concrete columns which in support are supported by cream brick piers.
Other early features of the design include the banks of timber framed double hung windows, timber framed doorway and the decorative gable infill (ventilators and brown brick horizontal patterning).
