Wiora - Physical Description 1
Two-storeyed, of red patterned brick, clad with Marseilles pattern roof tiles and appointed with half-timbered gabled roof bays and a two-storey timber side verandah, Wiora has the Queen Anne villa style characteristics, more common in 1900 than 1889. An oriel window, placed above a major arched opening, provides a distinctive elevation to the main gabled bay whilst lesser gables, roof forms and windows aid the asymmetrical 'balance' of the Irilbarra Road elevation. A two- level timber verandah possessing the familiar chunky turned posts of the American Queen Anne faces Mont Albert Road.
Comparison with 13 Victoria Avenue yields some similarities with the French Chateaux manner of this example but the timber verandah details conclusively link Wiora with American Queen Anne. Another early example in this style is the Tudoresque North Park, Essendon (188).
Wiora - Integrity
The fence has been replaced; part of the verandah has been glazed and some coloured glazing replaced.
