HOUSE - Physical Description 1
The house at 2 Eglinton Street is a single-storey Victorian red brick villa. Now occupying a corner site, the asymmetrical house has two street frontages, each with a projecting bay at one end and connected by a return verandah. It has a hipped roof, supported and the eaves line by a row of scrolled brackets, and penetrated by brick chimneys with moulded caps of unpainted render. The street frontages have segmental-arched tripartite windows with cable mouldings down the mullions and projecting bluestone sills. The skillion-roofed verandah is supported on cast iron fluted columns, with ornate cast iron lace between, and a tessellated floor. The Milfay Avenue frontage retains a pair of rendered plinths with urns, which may be original.
The dwarf brick wall along the street boundary is not original.
