Latrines Shed (opposite 1 Ozone Road) - Physical Description 1
DESCRIPTION
This site in the reserve at the north-east end of Flinders Parade (opposite 1-3 Ozone Road) is visually connected to the Ozone Road jetty.
The single storey, horizontal weatherboard, late Federation vernacular, latrines shed is characterised by a single galvanised corrugated iron gable roof form. Wide overhangs (without guttering) and exposed rafters are features of the eaves. The timber framed doorway appears to be early, as does the gable ventilation louvres. The opposite (east) gable end also has ventilation louvres, together with an early double timber dummy door, so that the structure appeared as a boatshed when it once visually connected to the sheds on the Barwon River foreshore.
