HOUSE - Physical Description 1
1 Barkly Street, Brunswick, is a single storey Edwardian timber house. It has a mock-ashlar facade and weatherboard side and rear walls. The facade is symmetrical, and has a particularly ornate cast iron verandah with a bullnose profile roof and a central gabled portico with return eaves supported by paired barley sugar columns. A cast iron lacework frieze sits beneath a narrow timber moulding. This type of verandah is an element of many Brunswick houses of this period. The house has a corrugated iron gambrel roof with bracketed eaves, timber fretwork to the gable-ends and terracotta ridge capping and finials. The chimneys are red brick with unpainted rendered cornices and terracotta chimney pots. The front door is flanked by bays of tripartite timber-framed double-hung sash windows with highlights, separated by timber pilasters.
The house has a timber picket fence (c.1940s).
The property once included the bluestone cobbled carriageway which is now located on 3 Barkly Street, a property also held by the Warburton family.(3)
