Residence - Physical Description 1
DESCRIPTION
This site at 19 Herd Road has typical front and side setbacks, with a driveway along the side. These setbacks are partly shown on the 1929 GWST Plan of Drainage.3 The front is bound by an original woven wire fence and scrolled metal gates, with an early hedge (approximately 1500mm high) behind.
The asymmetrical, single storey, weatherboard interwar Californian Bungalow is characterised by a gable roof form that traverses the site, together with a minor gable and verandah gable that project towards the street frontage. These roof forms are clad in painted, lapped galvanised corrugated iron. An early brick chimney adorns the roofline. Wide overhangs are a feature of the eaves. The early timber framed double hung windows are arranged as a horizontal bank of three under the verandah and as a projecting flat roofed bay (with a central fixed light denoted by a bowed sash). The front timber arnd glazed doors may also be early.
A feature of the design is the projecting verandah gable. It is supported by early, square, fluted, concrete Doric columns which in turn are supported by face brick piers with concrete cappings. Apart from these verandah elements, early decorative features of the design include the window leadlighting and the gable infill (brackets, stucco work, battening and shingling).
