HOUSES (GLEN IRIS & HAZEL GLEN) - Physical Description 1
This pair of single-fronted gable-fronted brick houses is located on the southern side of the street, with a garden set back consistent across both houses. Number 28 has a hedge at the front boundary and number 30 has a small non-original timber picket fence.
The houses are joined by a brick party wall, with corbelling at the upper edge. Typical of the period, they are identical in form and detailing, but mirror-imaged. For each house, entry is set back from the front facade and accessed via a side verandah enclosed by the main roof line. Timber verandah posts are turned and there is a timber ladder frieze with small panels cut out with floral motifs, and carved brackets. The facade contains double timber casement windows supported by brick corbels and with a bracketed window hood with a shallow ladder frieze. Each house has a brick chimney with terra cotta chimney pot.
The houses are notable for their distinctive pressed metal gable detailing. Embossed with sinuous Art Nouveau floral motifs each gable is also inscribed with a name: Number 28: 'Glen Iris, Number 30: 'Hazel Glen'.
