HOUSE - Physical Description 1
545 Napier Street is located in the centre of the White Hills Hamlet and comprises a large Edwardian timber house in a garden setting. It exhibits one of the highly characteristic layouts of a central square plan form with two elongated wings at right angles to each other. A return verandah links these two parts of the house and frames the central section. This house has metal ridge detailing, a corrugated iron hipped roof, face brick chimneys and eaves with characteristic mouldings beneath the gutter. The verandah is a particularly fine example of its type with the use of a cast iron frieze with integrated brackets. This is a late example of cast iron and is a highly distinctive design found on several houses in White Hills. The timber verandah posts are turned and either set in pairs or grouped in threes at the corner of the verandah. The window joinery is of timber framed casement windows with square leaded glass. The timber picket fence is of recent origins and the garden setting complements the house.
