Residence - Physical Description 1
The house at 102 Garden Street, Geelong, is set on an average sized allotment with a considerable front setback and narrow side setbacks. The front garden is recent and consists of brick paths with brick bordered garden beds. There is also a concrete driveway along one side. The front is bound by an introduced rendered brick and aluminium palisade fence with aluminium palisade gates, the whole being approximately 1800 mm high. The predominantly single storey, symmetrical, horizontal weatherboard, Late Victorian styled house is characterised by a hipped roof form, together with a hipped verandah having a hipped portico which projects towards the street frontage. These roof forms are clad in galvanised corrugated steel. Two early rendered brick chimneys with dentillated projecting tops adorn the roofline. Narrow overhangs with worked timber brackets and rectangular panels are features of the eaves. The symmetry of the design is accentuated by the early front central timber framed doorway and flanking early timber framed double hung windows arranged in pairs. The doorway has an early four panelled timber door with sidelights. The sidelights have panelled timber bases. There is also an introduced timber framed screen door at the front. The timber sills of the flanking windows are supported by early timber brackets. The front verandah is supported by stop chamfered timber columns with projecting moulded timber capitals. The verandah has introduced timber fretwork valances and brackets. At the rear of the original house is an introduced two storey hipped addition, visible from Garden Street at the side.
