Residence - Physical Description 1
DESCRIPTION
The site at 10 Perth Street has visual connections with Breakwater to the east. This house is set in a single storey streetscape of mixed styles. The house has typical front and side setbacks and is situated on a corner allotment.
The single storey, brick, transitional Federation and interwar Bungalow styled house is characterised by a central hipped roof form, and a broken back return verandah flanked by projecting gables. The roofs are clad in terra cotta tiles. Both the brick wall construction and tiled roof are uncommon features of interwar housing in the Belmont region. Two early brick chimneys with soldier course cappings and terra cotta pots adorn the roofline. Wide overhangs and exposed rafters are features of the eaves. The early timber framed windows are arranged as horizontal banks, with a large central fixed light having a bowed sash and flanked by double hung windows. The early front timber? door is flanked by sidelights.
A feature of the design is the return verandah. It is supported by early paired timber columns which in turn are supported by brick piers with soldier course cappings. A solid brick balustrade with a rendered concrete capping forms the verandah boundary.
Early decorative features of the design include the window leadlighting, soldier coursing, gable infill and the terra cotta ridge ornaments.
