House - Physical Description 1
The house is a polychrome brick house with asymmetrically placed entry porch and a centrally
placed rendered Moderne chimney in front of a hipped terracotta tile roof. The upper and lower
bands of brickwork are red-blue clinker brick, and the central area is of cream in a common bond.
The cream and clinker bands are separated by double running bands of dark brown Roman bricks.
The porch columns are of layered alternating cream bricks and dark brown Roman bricks. The
porch has a curved and grooved concrete canopy that is painted white. The overall effect of the
banded porch columns and ‘up-to-date’ brickwork is strongly Dudokian. The window lintels are also
of white painted concrete. The steel window frames are painted blue.
The bands of bricks contribute towards a horizontal orientation that is characteristic of Moderne
styling. This is augmented by the horizontal banding on the chimney, and brickwork along the front
fence. The smooth stucco finish of the chimney is characteristically Moderne, as is the rounded
edge of the porch canopy with horizontal groove. Alternating bands of light and dark colour
reinforce a Moderne character. White rendered lintels above the windows match the prominent
white guttering around the eaves and the canopy.
The driveway at the east of the site (Figure 7) leads to a garage in matching cream, clinker and
dark Roman brick bands. The garage appears original but altered by the insertion of timber framed
glazed doors. The garden setting includes crazy paving in the porch and garden beds. The front
fence is original and continues the cream and clinker brick motif, forming a simply detailed
crenelated wall with an elegant metal gate (Figures 7 and 8).
The house is externally intact and demonstrates a high level of integrity retaining original elements
such as the fence, garage and crazy paving. Modern alterations including a security screen door
and glazed doors to the garage do not undermine the significance of the place.
