Merridale House - Physical Description 1
Merridale is a Queen Anne or Federation style house, comparable to other buildings in Northcote such as Mandalay and Lugano (qv). Characteristics include the asymmetrical massing, gabled projections, red brick work with contrasting roughcast render and lead lighted windows. The gable ends and balustrading to the attic are clad with shingles. The front verandah is supported on Tuscan cement columns. Distinctive timber butterfly wing brackets decorate the attic balcony posts, and gargoyles are located on the apexes of the gables. Alterations include the replacement of the original roof tiles with black glazed tiles and the removal of the front fence.
