Residence - Physical Description 1
DESCRIPTION
The site at 11 Francis Street has visual connections to Newtown Hill to the north and to the substantial Palm tree and the Norfolk Pine tree to the south. This house is set in a single storey streetscape of mixed Edwardian, interwar Californian Bungalow and postwar homes. The house has narrower front and side setbacks. These setbacks are shown on the 1928 GWST Plan of Drainage. The front boundary is formed by the inappropriate timber fence, approximately1800mm high, covered in creeper.
The asymmetrical, single storey weatherboard Edwardian house is characterised by a dominant, recessed hipped roof form, together with a gable roof that projects towards the street frontage and a recessed return verandah under the main hipped roof. An early brick chimney adorns the roofline.
Any other early features of the design could not be ascertained.
