HOUSE AT 81 Brushy Park Road - Physical Description 1
Detached, single-storey, double fronted timber Californian Bungalow house, located high on a hill. The roof is unglazed Marseille tile, unusual in this locality.
The house features an off-set minor gable, shingles and joists on the upper gable, and casement windows. The roof extends as a verandah in the angle. The house has been extended at one end.
The present owner, Mr L. Rossi, advises that he has also modified the original house internally and replaced all the windows.
An adjoining outbuilding appears to be a Nissen hut.
