Residence - Physical Description 1
DESCRIPTION
The site at 11 Kardinia Street has visual connections with the historic Kardinia House and with the spires of St. Mary's Church, Geelong. This house is set in a single storey residential streetscape, with homes predominantly of the Edwardian and interwar period. The house has typical front and side setbacks, with a driveway on the side. These setbacks are shown on the 1953 GWST Plan of Drainage. The site is bound at the front by a recent brick pillar fence with concrete cappings. Aluminium palisades have recently been introduced.
The two storey (second storey in roof space) face brick postwar Old English style house is characterised by two dominant tiled gable roofs with a minor gable that projects to the street frontage. A long skillion dormer type window projects from the secondary dominant gable. A tall, prominent rectangular chimney is another feature of the roofline. The mainly horizontally proportioned windows have been alteredbut are sympathetic of the original design, being of the fixed and double hung type.
The verandah porch is characterised by an early arched doorway opening and an arched timber framed window, with frosted glass.
Early decorative features of the design are the yellow brick banding, yellow brick corbelling on the gable ends and the yellow brick diamond patterns in the gable walls. The ornate iron balustrade and doorway surround may also be early.
