Iolanthe - Physical Description 1
Iolanthe is a double-fronted, single-storey Italianate style polychrome brick house. The central arched entrance porch projects forward, and is flanked by pairs of double hung sash windows. The tuck pointed facade has been painted and the cream brick voussoirs at each window opening have been obscured. The hipped slate roof has a timber bracketed eaves. The tall brown brick chimney has a corbelled cap in contrasting cream brick.
Iolanthe probably once possessed a verandah along the east facade. Other alterations include the replacement of the front door, reglazing of the side and top lights and the removal of cast-iron ridging and finials.Heritage Study and Grading
