Residence "Koringa" - Physical Description 1
An elevated, eclectic late Italianate timber house. It is clad with mock ashlar timber. Chimneys have Classical moulds and vermiculated panels with coved angles. Eaves have a decorative valence, brackets and lozenges between. The hip verandah extends all around, with valence panels over a rail, pierced with quatrefoils and discs, with similar brackets. Its bevelled posts have cast zinc Corinthian capitals. It returns to a bay projecting at left side rear.
Windows are tripartite with barley sugar mullions. The elaborate central entrance has side and fanlights and a six-panelled door with mullions with detached turned and moulded colonette shafts and quatrefoil incised decoration. The verandah projects as the entrance as a gable with turned spindle palisade decoration. The fanlight has a name inscribed in fine gold leaf and there are important small painted bird motif panels in the side lights.
