House - 'Dunanore', 27 Patrick Street, STAWELL - Physical Description 1
'Dunanore' at 27 Patrick Street, Stawell, makes a significant historical and architectural contribution to the local area. The site is dominated by the single storey brick house, and has a grassed front yard with perimeter garden. The front yard is raised above street level and there is a hedge along the side. 'Dunanore' has visual connections to St. Patrick's Catholic Church in Patrick Street.
The asymmetrical, single storey, unpainted brick, Late Victorian styled house is characterised by a recessed gabled roof form that traverses the site, together with a gable and skillion verandah that project towards the street frontage. These roof forms (apart from the verandah) are clad in early slate, while the verandah is clad in galvanised corrugated iron painted red. Three early rendered brick chimneys with projecting cornices adorn the roofline. Narrow overhangs are a feature of the eaves.
A distinctive feature of the design is the highly elaborate bank of double hung timber framed windows, with its rendered crowning pediment below which is a drip mould supported by consoles and decorative pilaster window surrounds. Other early decorative features of the design include the freestone quoinwork, segmentally arched window surrounds, sills and brackets, cast iron verandah valance, brackets and columns, and the granite foundation and Grampians freestone base wall. The timber framed double hung windows are early, as possibly is the front doorway and door.
