'Oonadah', House, 15 Jennings Street, STAWELL - Physical Description 1
The house at 15 Jennings Street, Stawell, is set on a corner allotment. It has a rudimentary front and side garden characterised by open grassed areas and some perimeter plantings. There are also some concrete pedestrian paths and the front and side are bound by an introduced low brick fence with a glazed tiled capping.
The symmetrical, single storey, horizontal timber weatherboard, late Victorian styled house is characterised by a hipped roof form, together with a hipped bullnosed verandah that projects towards the street frontage. These roof forms are clad in deep red-painted galvanised corrugated steel. An early unpainted brick chimney with a dentillated and corbelled top adorns the roofline. Narrow overhangs are features of the eaves.
A feature of the design is the front verandah. It is supported by timber columns with projecting capital moulds and has decorative cast iron valances and brackets.
The symmetrical composition is accentuated by the front facade with its early central timber doorway and flanking windows. The central doorway has an early panelled timber door with highlight above, and the windows are timber framed and double hung.
