Residence - Physical Description 1
The design is dominated by the large hip roof from which two smaller gable-ends project at right angles to each other. A return verandah from one gable end to the other is formed by the extension of the central hip roof. The centrally positioned main entrance is flanked on either side by pairs of full length, slender windows. However the apparent symmetry of the plan form is offset by the asymmetry of the front elevation. This elevation is unusual in that the front entrance is hardly noticed as the eye is drawn to the projecting gable porch. The chimneys are a notable feature of this house and serve as an identifying element of other very similar houses in Geelong West. Some of these are 49 and 37 Lawton Avenue and 14-18 Aberdeen Street. 49 Lawton Avenue appears to be identical except for a few minor variations such as the position of the gablet, the window length and the small entrance porch between the verandah and gable porch.
