House, 19 Main Street, STAWELL - Physical Description 1
The house at 19 Main Street, Stawell, is set on a wide allotment and has a substantial front setback. This setback comprises an open grassed area with minimal perimeter plantings and some small shrubs. The front is bound by an introduced open wire fence supported by hollow steel posts.
The asymmetrical, single storey, horizontal timber weatherboard, Late Victorian styled house is characterised by a hipped roof form that traverses the site, together with a rear hipped roof that projects to the side and a return ogee form verandah that projects towards the front and side. These roof forms are clad in painted galvanised corrugated iron. Three brick (now painted) chimneys with corbelled tops adorn the roofline. Narrow overhangs with paired timber brackets, panelling and paterae are features of the eaves.
A feature of the design is the return verandah. It is supported timber columns with decorative timber brackets above which are timber fretwork valances.
Other early features of the design include the front timber framed doorway with four panelled timber door and sidelights and highlights. The flanking front aluminium framed windows have been introduced, possibly replacing timber framed tripartite double hung windows.Heritage Study and Grading
