Alroy at 13 Stevedore Street - Physical Description 1
Quarry faced randomly set basalt blocks provide walls and chimney for this doublefronted hipped roof house. The timber verandah, with cast-iron frieze and brackets, appears to be in part wholly from late last century.
Changes to the original fabric include:
- The roof has been reclad in related corrugated iron (this in turn replaced an earlier unsympathetic tile roof)
- A new, but unrelated, iron fence
- A new verandah of hybrid style with hipped Victorian era concave profile and turned Edwardian era post.
- The front door was replaced, probably early this century.
