Grand View - Physical Description 1
Grand View is an asymmetrical, Italianate style, rendered brick house, situated on a corner site. The house is unusual in that it possesses two different facades, one facing Prospect Grove and the other Mitchell Street, accommodating both a business address and a private residence. A portico placed centrally in a cast-iron verandah forms the entrance to the business. The residence has a cast-iron verandah which abuts a semi-hexagonal bay window.
The render work is highly decorative, both internally and externally, with vermiculated quoining, eaves brackets, a scrolled entablature and pronounced hood-moulds to the windows. A cast and wrought-iron picked fence encloses the property, with moulded capped corner and gate posts.
Internally, the principal rooms have ornate moulded plaster ceiling roses.
