Frayne House, 3-7 Frayne Street, STAWELL - Physical Description 1
The Federation style timber house which was built in 1907 for George Frayne has hipped and gabled roof forms clad in lapped corrugated steel. The main ridges have metal ridge decoration which terminates in curved finials. There are remaining original chimneys with moulded decorations. A straight pitched roofed verandah returns around the front of the house terminating in a projecting gable roofed section of the house. A feature of the roof is the moderate eaves overhang with front hipped section supported on paired timber brackets with moulded panels and rosettes between. The gable eaves overhang is supported on carved timber brackets at each side. The verandah roof is clad in corrugated metal and has a valence of vertical square timbers.
The walls are of square edged weatherboards with the gable ends clad in timber shingles. The gable end has a decorative circular vent. The windows are timber framed, double hung, some with fixed awnings with decorative timber brackets and clad in ripple iron. To one side of the house is a skillion roofed structure which may have been an early fernery as it appears to have timber slatted upper walls. The building has been extended, generally in matching wall and roof materials. Some windows have been introduced or altered. These do not match the proportions of the original windows.
