DETAILS
The house at 180 McKillop Street, Geelong, is set on an average-sized allotment for the local area. This house has a modest front setback, and a graveled driveway along the side. The front garden consists of bluestone and brick bordered garden beds and a central grassed area, with more substantial shrubs situated along the front boundary. The front is bound by an introduced brick fence painted dark green and is approximately 1000 mm high.
The symmetrical, single storey, horizontal weatherboard, Victorian styled house is characterised by a hipped roof form, together with a hipped convex verandah that projects towards the street frontage. These roof forms are clad in galvanised corrugated steel, and there is an introduced membrane on the west facing hip. Three early rendered brick chimneys with projecting tops adorn the roofline. One chimney also has a painted terra cotta pot. Narrow overhangs with decorative paired timber brackets and rectangular panels between are features of the eaves.
The symmetry of the design is accentuated by the early central timber framed doorway and the flanking windows. The doorway has an early four panelled timber door with early timber framed sidelights and highlights. It is flanked by early timber framed double hung and decorative tripartite windows.
A feature of the design is the front verandah. It has an early central gable portico that projects towards the street frontage. The verandah is supported by early round cast iron columns with decorative capitals, and also has decorative valances and brackets. The verandah portico also has early decorative cast iron infill. The timber verandah floor also appears to be early.
