Residence - Physical Description 1
DESCRIPTION
This single storey building appears to have been built in stages. The form of the stone section is typical for the period, however the use of superior materials such as stone and slate was not. The hipped roof is clad in slate and the central door has doublehung windows on either side. The stone walls are coursed quarryfaced and the quoins at the wall angles are dressedfaced for contrast. The door frame is particularly interesting. Attached to the north end of the stone building is a weatherboard building with a gable roof clad in corrugated iron. The gable end faces the street and has decorative barge boards arid the remnants of a wooden finial. A return bullnosed verandah continues across the east facade of both buildings and returns along the north side of the timber building. The verandah may have been added early in the twentieth century as the brackets are typical for that period.
