74 Learmonth Street, Queenscliff - Physical Description 2
Alterations to 74 Learmonth Street include the closing in of part of the verandah and the removal of the gable-finials but, otherwise, externally it is original. Its elevated siting, and consequent set back make the building distinctive. The massive brick side wall, which extends on the north to the building line assists in making 74 Learmonth part of the streetscape, nullifying any detriment from its set back.

Extract from the 2009 study
No. 74 Learmonth Street is a large weatherboard dwelling with a corrugated sheet clad gabled roof which has replaced the original hipped one. There are numerous additions to the rear (west) of the property. The concave verandah with panelled cast-iron friezes and finished brackets is a later addition
Other alterations include the closing in of part of the verandah and the removal of the gable-finials. In most other respects, the building is in its original form externally. Its elevated siting, and setback distinguish the building from others in the street and it is well screened from the road by the mature garden. A large brick boundary wall on the north side extends along the building line to the front boundary. A metal fence with a fleur-de-lys head has replaced the original front timber picket fence.
