Residence - Physical Description 1
DESCRIPTION
The house at 187 Roslyn Road has typical front and side setbacks, with a driveway along the side. These setbacks are shown on the 1963 GWST Plan of Drainage. Early trees are situated in the front yard, while the front is bound by a recent timber picket fence, approximately 1300mm high.
The single storey, asymmetrical, horizontal weatherboard, interwar Californian Bungalow is characterised by a recessed dominant gable roof, together with two minor gables (including verandah) that project towards the street frontage. These roof forms appear to be clad in galvanised corrugated iron. Wide overhangs are a feature of the eaves. The early timber framed windows appear to be double hung.
A feature of the design is the projecting verandah gable. It appears to be supported by timber columns? which in turn are supported by unpainted tapered brick piers with concrete cappings. A solid unpainted brick balustrade with a concrete capping forms the verandah boundary.
Early decorative features fo the design include the soldier course banding on the verandah balustrade and the gable infill (brackets, shingling, roughcast panelling and timber battening).
