Residence - Physical Description 1
Description
The house at 293 Pakington Street is set on an average-sized allotment for the area. It has a front setback that is equivalent to the neighbouring dwelling to the south. The front yard is dominated by mature trees, shrubs and other plantings. There is a driveway along the south side. The front brick fence particularly the piers appear to be early.
The asymmetrical, elevated single storey, clinker brick and rough cast, interwar Spanish Mission styled dwelling is characterized by a broad recessed hipped roof form, together with minor hipped roofs that project at the front and side. These roof forms are clad in terra cotta tiles. Early roughcast brick chimneys with terra cotta posts adorn the roofline. Broad overhangs are features of the eaves
Early features at the front include the round-arched verandah loggia supported by roughcast piers and square tapered Doric columns, and the round-arched timber framed double hung windows at the northern end. The projecting hipped verandah loggia has solid clinker brick balustrades within the arched openings. Below the verandah is an early garage featuring early paneled timber and glazed concertina garage doors.
Other early features of the design include the timber framed double entrance door opening and the timber framed double hung windows.
