Formerly Linda House - Physical Description 1
Symmetrically composed about a pedimented central bay the stuccoed facade extends in a bayed form at either end of a two- level arcaded verandah. A massive hipped and slated roof follows the bayed plan-form. Balustrading and other typical Renaissance derived ornament is used. together with an unusual serlian arch configuration in the verandah arcade. Reputedly the stair and entrance hall are notable interior elements, as is the superposed verandah arcade.
The original grounds are shared with 21 Canterbury Road (q.v.) and contain both mature and sympathetic plantings (boundary hedge, Moreton Bay Fig, Cedar), whilst an accompanying square-top picket and fence is related to the period, if not the original modified.
Formerly Linda House - Integrity
The house is generally externally original (front elevation); new visually unrelated structures have been added at the front of the block and adjacent to the house.
