The front timber post and rail and woven wire fence, scrolled metal gate, and front garden (including the winding concrete path) also contribute to the significance of the place.

Residence - Physical Description 1
The house at 19 Anderson Street, Geelong, is set on a corner allotment. It has a front setback of approximately 7 metres with narrower side setbacks. The front garden consists of an early winding concrete path with grassed areas and perimeter plantings. The front is bound by a timber post and rail, and woven wire fence, approximately 1200mm high. At the corner is an early scrolled metal gate.
The asymmetrical, single storey, horizontal weatherboard, interwar Californian Bungalow styled house is characterised by a gable roof form that traverses the site, together with minor gables (including a verandah gable) that project at the front and rear. These roof forms are clad in introduced tiles. An early rendered brick chimney with a stepped top adorns the roofline. Wide overhangs are features of the eaves.
A feature of the design is the projecting bowed bay window at the front. It also has a tiled roof below which is a bank of early timber framed double hung windows and timber shingling base walls. The other timber framed double hung windows under the verandah gable are also early. These front windows also have early decorative leadlighting in the upper sashes. The recessed, timber framed front entrance doorway also appears to be early.
Another feature of the design is the verandah gable. It is supported by early painted brick piers with stuccoed incised rectangular panels and exposed patterned brickwork. A solid painted brick balustrade with an incised stuccoed rectangular panel (and overpainted) and concrete cappings forms the verandah boundary.
Other early decorative features of the design include the gable brackets, and gable infill (battening and panelling, and timber shingling).
