Residence - Physical Description 1
The house at 13 Brown Street is set on a long narrow allotment, with a front setback of at least 6 metres. There are narrower side setbacks. The front garden consists of an introduced brick path with grassed areas, perimeter flower beds and is also dotted with shrubs. The front is bound by a timber picket fence and gate, approximately 1200 mm high. The predominantly symmetrical, single storey, horizontal weatherboard, modest interwar Bungalow styled house is characterised by a broad hipped roof form, together with a minor hipped porch that projects towards the street frontage. These roof forms are clad in galvanised corrugated iron. Two early unpainted brick chimneys with rendered concrete cappings and terra cotta pots adorn the roofline. Wide overhangs and exposed timber rafters are features of the eaves. An early feature of the design is the projecting hipped porch. It is supported by paired square timber columns which in turn are supported by unpainted brick piers with concrete cappings. A solid and curved plain porch valance forms another rudimentary decorative feature to the porch. There is also an early timber framed doorway under the porch. Flanking the porch are projecting corner window bays with skillion roofs and exposed timber rafters. These windows, together with the other windows on the house, are early and are timber framed and double hung. The front windows also feature early decorative leadlighting in the upper sashes.
