Logan Bank Cottage, 7 Stevens Street - Physical Description 1
Extract from the 1982 study
Logan Bank Cottage is a double-fronted low hip-roofed timber house with a verandah. The original verandah was described as 'enclosed' as early as 1870 but what exists today appears to be a replacement, the long skillion-roof being atypical. A skillion has also been added on the south side of the house with a face-brick chimney, however the familiar stucco cornice detail appears on the northern chimney which appears original. Details such as roof-cladding, fences and guttering have been replaced and an additional building has been placed on the south-east side of the cottage.
Logan Bank Cottage has a direct association with the early Queenscliff contractors Pagan and Peattie which was continued by the Hunter family. The house is generally unchanged externally.
Logan Bank Cottage, 7 Stevens Street - Physical Description 2
Extract from the 2009 study
Logan Bank Cottage is a single-storey double-fronted building with a low hipped roofed and a (recently constructed) hipped concave roofed verandah supported on square timber posts with stop chamfers. It is of modest scale and simple architectural form. The verandah is elevated on a rendered plinth and is accessed via a small set of steps with stone capped rendered flanking walls.
The roof is corrugated steel-clad, and is punctuated by a rendered brick chimney with a curved moulded cornice. The central four-panel entrance door is flanked by timber sliding sash windows; the openings are symmetrically placed. A hipped roof extension to the rear of the building is a later addition.
The formerly enclosed verandah has been removed, albeit the verandah was described as 'enclosed' as early as 1870, and has been replaced by the simple verandah described above. Otherwise, the building frontage is assumed to have been restored to its early appearance. A skillion extension with a face-brick chimney to the south side of the cottage has also been removed.
The site has additionally undergone significant redevelopment; a complex of elevated modern, small-scale timber-clad hipped roof buildings has been constructed to the south and east of the cottage.
