St Paul's Parish House, Former Glamorgan and St Paul's Anglican Church - Physical Description 1
A large elevated, red brick Edwardian house, with a hipped slate roof. It is symmetrical, with three bays facing Warrandyte Road, a verandah around three sides under the main roof at break-pitch, returning to gable wings with canted bay windows both sides, beneath. The roof has terra-cotta unglazed ridge-capping and end-pieces, finials and chimney-pots. The unusual chimneys have rendered dressings, with a very large capping frieze mould and a blind arched panel each side, over an expressed base. (At centre front is a gable, with unusual vermiculated (unpainted) render panels, over a convex jetty, supported on large sinuous ogee brackets. The verandah also has exposed rafters, and a palisade turned spindle valence on tripartite catenary archways, and decorative fretwork panels, on elaborate brackets with tulip fretwork, turned post- pairs, with archways, on brick plinths. There is a catenary-curved balustrade. Brickwork generally is stretcher-bond tuckpointed and windows have bluestone sills. Some windows retain leadlight highlights, with plain palisade round arches between. Rear wings have gablets decorated as the entrance. At rear is a skillion verandah. There are palms and cordylines in the garden.
