Residence - Physical Description 1
A three- bay timber gable-roofed Californian Bungalow with an attic. The main gable extends across, minor gables face at right, centre (attic) and at left, behind a flat-roofed verandah. This returns at left and sets back across the right gable as a window head. Upper gables are timbered, with rectangular louvred vents. Lower sections have battered shingles, with concave brackets.
The roof is unglazed Marseilles terra-cotta tiles and the chimney is roughcast, with Voyseyan plate top and pot. Walls are clad in roughcast with dado weatherboards. The verandah has post-pairs extending from unusual shingle panels. Between are palisade and very deep boomerang-shaped fretwork brackets.
