Buena Vista - Physical Description 1
51 James Street is a double-fronted, ruled-rendered brick house with a hipped slate roof and corrugated iron verandah. Following the classical influence then prevailing in domestic architecture, the house possesses bracketed eaves and elegantly moulded chimney caps, which contrasted with the heavier cornices of the 1885-90 period. After the departure of Robin from the house it was altered to include new terracotta ridging, cappings, terracotta chimney pots and a new timber verandah with slatted friezes and fretted clover motifs in the panels.
