Residence - Physical Description 1
A triple-fronted timber Edwardian hip-roofed house. The left side rear and right bays project as gables. The bull-nosed verandah extends around the angle. Rafters are exposed, there are sheet metal finials and the chimney has frieze and drop moulds and a terra-cotta pot. Walls are rough-cast over verandah height. Gables have jettied upper sections on decorative brackets. Larger brackets with wavy palisade decoration support the eaves. Below are mock shingles.
Windows in gables have ripple-iron hipped hoods, on large brackets, unusually splayed. Windows are quadruple casements on ogee brackets, at left as an oriel. The bull-nosed verandah extends around the angle, with palisade and fretwork plant-form decoration on the valence. It is arched at ends and the angle, with large Rococo brackets. Posts are incised. The entrance door is Edwardian, glazed with fanlight and sidelights with decorative spandrels.
