HOUSE - Physical Description 1
The house at 1A Victoria Street, Korumburra is in the form of a Victorian cottage with a steep pitched transverse roof and verandah facing the street. A projecting gable in similar form extends a considerable length to the street boundary, which is now built up considerably (about 1.5m) above the floor level of the building, resulting in the building appearing to be half buried below the street level. A single corbelled brick double chimney extends from the ridge line at roughly the centre of the transverse gable. A straight verandah extends around the internal sides of the 'L' formed by the two gables. The street facing gable has decorative timber trusswork.
The transverse section has pairs of panel doors and double hung windows. This, with the central location of the fireplaces suggests that the two sections were originally separate dwellings. The addition has a casement window and a much more recent door. The verandah has original turned posts and a recent cast aluminium frieze.
A superficial analysis suggests that the original building was two small adjacent dwellings with a shared chimney stack and that the projecting wing was added from the street boundary across the end of the first building, but a closer physical inspection is required to confirm its actual pattern of development.Heritage Study and Grading
