Five Gums House and outbuildings - Physical Description 1
250 Adairs Lane is a sandstone and brick hut with corrugated iron roof. Of primitive construction it is of note for the unusual roof form of hip and gable. There is a makeshift lean-to to one side, but this is built of iron in a modern profile. The sandstone is in square cut rubble and there are brick dressings to the windows, although the lintels are of timber. The design of stone and brick resembles many of the buildings from South Australia, however this design is found in the Bendigo region in a few buildings, often with Cornish or German connections.
The front door is sheeted with vertical lining boards and there is one remaining sash window in a poor state of repair. The interior has masonry walls and hard plaster. A timber fire surround of simple design is still extant.
A slab outbuilding is located on the neighbouring allotment (Y7), which is also part of 'Five Gums'.Only the slab outbuilding and this house are of interest.
The outbuilding in Adairs Lane is built from horizontal timber slabs set between vertical posts. It has a gable roof and a skillion lean-to. Some of the timber walls have been rebuilt with framing and corrugated iron cladding. The gable ends have been clad in weatherboard. Some internal walls are built from vertical palings or slabs. The door is ledged, braced and sheeting with vertical lining boards. There are stone flags to the floor.
