Description
The house at 146 Corio Street, Geelong, is set on a narrow allotment, which is typical for the local area. The house dominates the front of the site, as it is situated on the front and side boundaries.
The symmetrical, single storey, horizontal weatherboard, Victorian styled house is characterised by a double hipped roof form that traverses the site, rear introduced skillion extensions and a broad concave verandah that projects towards the street frontage. The front hipped roof form is clad in early slate and recent galvanised corrugated steel, while the rear hipped roof, skillions and front verandah are clad in galvanised corrugated iron. Narrow overhangs are features of the eaves. An introduced unpainted brick chimney adorns the roofline at one side. The symmetrical composition of the design is accentuated by the central early timber framed doorway, which is flanked by altered c.1920s timber framed tripartite windows (the side windows being timber framed).
A feature of the design is the front verandah. It is supported by recent timber columns and has a decorative cast iron valance within a timber frame. There is also a cast iron bracket at one side, which may have been introduced, as has the vertically boarded infill at the side of the verandah. The verandah is bound at the front by a capped open timber balustrade and recessed gate on a bluestone base.
