FORMER RAILWAY GATEKEEPER'S HOUSE - Physical Description 1
The former railway gatekeeper's residence at 9 Ingelwood Street, Raywood is located to the east of the rail line, towards the west end of Inglewood Street. It was originally built in c. 1882, following the completion of the line from Eaglehawk to Raywood. The property was inspected externally. The remnants of the former water supply system were not inspected and are believed to be outside the subject property boundary. References to the water supply installation in the following description are derived from the previous survey carried out in 1998.3
The single-storey house is a standard departmental T-shaped timber residence of the late nineteenth century. As built there was a verandah to the west of the south elevation. This has been filled in (c. 1960s), including the installation of a modern door and a highlight window. A gabled wing - possibly a later addition - projects to the north, and there is a skillion roofed infill to the north-west. The majority of visible windows to the house are not original, having been replaced by modern metal-framed sliding windows. There are remnants of king post decorations to the projecting gable ends and triangular gable end vents. The roof areas are clad with corrugated galvanised sheet steel, painted red. There are two painted brick chimneys, with different widths, dimensions and corbels, one to the north of the rear gable and one to the centre of the building, aligned with the original rear (north) building line.
The property is set back from Inglewood Street behind an open landscaped setting, with a mature palm tree to the east. There is a timber post and metal mesh fence and cyclone wire gates to the driveway. A line of trees/plantings defines the rear (north) boundary. There are a number of outbuildings (not inspected) and a water store (swimming pool?) to the rear of the property, and a carport to the west.
The ruins of the water supply installation consist of a brick lined pit with timber copings (presumably decked over at one time) with iron pipe and valves situated near the grade crossing.
