THE OFFICER HOUSE - Physical Description 1
55 Outlook Drive is one of a cluster of three houses designed by Annear within the Eaglemont Estate. Like its neighbours, the house is asymmetrically planned and possesses many of the distinctive and quirky details common to Annear's houses of this period. Windows are casements with highlights and have carved bracketed hoods, the lower walls are weatherboarded whilst the upper walls and gable ends are timbered and roughcast rendered. The terracotta tiled gabled roof extends to form a verandah, which has a distincive ogee-arched timber slatted frieze and balustrade and is supported by timber posts with tulip shaped brackets. A diaper-patterned half timbered frieze runs across the Outook Drive elevation, beneath the projecting gable end.
The kitchen windows of 55 Outlook Drive were replaced in 1939, and others were replaced in the 1960s.THE OFFICER HOUSE - Intactness
