"Condie" residence - Physical Description 1
Set a considerable distance back from the road this single storey house nestles into the landscape of flat grazing land and a backdrop of very large cypress trees. The roof form dominates the appearance of the large house. The main hip roof has a diagonal axis which extends to encompass a return verandah under it and extends as a window hood across the gable end of the front projecting wing. Another wing projects at the other end of the verandah but it has no window hood. It is essentially a simplified form of the Federation house design so popular in Geelong and first used by Angus Laird on 'Rosnashane/Clivedon' in Aberdeen St Newtown in 1900. There are pairs of double hung timber windows with leadlighting. The clear use of Interwar bungalow design is seen in the gable end strapwork, verandah piers and paired posts and window design. The house was constructed sometime between 1926 and 1935 for Marshall McD Condie. In more recent years, the early wall construction of the house has been painted and a carport and decorative finials have been added. There is also a new front fence.
