St. Andrews, Edradour - Physical Description 1
Edradour, 37 Mayston Street, Hawthorn East, is a single-storey Victorian brick villa with Italianate styling and unpainted original rendered finish. The hipped roof is slate-clad with bracketed eaves and a pair of rendered chimneys with moulded caps and antefixa. The breakfronted asymmetrical principal (south) facade comprises a projecting bay with a canted bay window at the east end, which terminates a concave corrugated galvanised steel verandah at one end; the other end terminated by a wing wall. The verandah, with bluestone steps, is supported by cast iron Corinthian columns with lace frieze and brackets. A similar canted bay is located on the west side of the house, setback from the front facade. The central entrance contains a panelled timber door with glazed surrounds and non-original screen door. Fenestration is defined by moulded archivolts and keystones which extend into a moulded frieze across the facade; moulded window sills are consoled and building corners are defined by bold quoining.
An addition was made to the rear of the building in c. 1983,[i] views of which are generally restricted from the main streetscape. With the exception of the non-original front picket fence and landscaping, therefore, the house appears to be largely externally intact to the principal original building component.
