House - Physical Description 1
11 McLachlan Street is an asymmetrically-planned, single-storey Federation style weatherboard house, possessing a variety of decorative timber features. There are two half-timbered gables projecting from the main hipped, corrugated iron roof, facing Cunningham and McLachlan Streets.
Finials mark the apices of the gables. A verandah returns against one of the projecting bays and a small skillion-roofed porch abuts the other. The bracketed window hoods have serpentine timber struts, whilst the verandah and porch have friezes with short, turned timber posts. The ends of the porch and verandah have timber rising sun motifs. Windows are double-hung sashes with moulded architraves and carved sills. The tall red brick chimneys have corbelled caps and terracotta chimney pots. The shaped timber picket fence is a recent addition.
