Residence - Physical Description 1
The house at 333 Ryrie Street, Geelong, is set on a very narrow allotment, with a typical modest front setback and narrow side setback. The front garden is rudimentary, and consists of a central brick path with timber bordered garden beds. The front is bound by an introduced low painted brick fence, approximately 300 mm high.
The asymmetrical, single storey, Victorian Picturesque styled house is characterised by a recessed hipped roof form that traverses the site, together with a gable and side convex verandah that project towards the street frontage. These roof forms are clad in galvanised corrugated iron with the main roof being painted dark grey. An early unpainted brick chimney with a corbelled top adorns the roofline. Narrow overhangs with paired timber brackets and rectangular panels between are features of the eaves.
The front timber framed double hung tripartite window under the projecting gable is early, as is the single double hung window under the verandah, and the timber framed doorway with a four panelled timber door and sidelights and highlights. The timber framed screen door has been introduced. Other timber framed double hung windows at the sides are also early.
A feature of the design is the front verandah. It is supported by introduced square timber columns with moulded timber capitals surmounted by cast iron brackets. The timber framed cast iron valance appears to be early and is decorated with a rinceau pattern.
Another early decorative feature of the design is the turned timber finial surmounting the gable, and the worked timber bargeboards.
