Residence - Physical Description 1
DESCRIPTION:
Of the several small timber, generally hipped roof verandah cottages fronting Tucker and lesser streets in Breakwater, this is perhaps the best preserved. Clad with bead-edge boarding and equipped with slender stop-chamfered verandah posts, a concave verandah roof profile and slim opening architraves, the house appears to be one of the 1860's-1870's and presumably grew in stages commencing with the two-room front bay.
The scalloped verandah valence is of sheet metal (?) and is presumably of a much later date but nevertheless unusual. Founded on stone footings, the timber picket front fence may be the original, cut down square.
EXTERNAL INTEGRITY: Generally Original.
STREETSCAPE: One of at least three old houses in this locality (4, 51, 53) and close to the landmark site, the Breakwater Hotel (replaced), and the major fellmongers
