HOUSE - Physical Description 1
The house at 7 Donald Street, Brunswick is a symmetrical timber villa with an unusual timber-framed arched entrance portico. The house's front facade is symmetrical with paired timber-framed double-hung sash windows either side of the front door. The highly ornate verandah has a cast iron lacework frieze and cast iron columns. The verandah roof is of bull-nose profile, and is clad with corrugated galvanised steel. The central timber entrance has parapet decorated with cast iron cresting. The primary hipped roof is crossed by a wider transverse gabled roof at the rear; both are of slate which appears to have been painted red. Gabled side wings, with half-timbering and window hoods supported on slatted timber brackets, project at the rear and feature . Terracotta ridging, ball finials and red brick chimneys with rendered moulded tops decorate the roof. The timber wall of the front facade is scribed to simulate stonework.
A garage has been added to the north-west corner of the house, and is partly tucked under the verandah. The front fence appears to date from the time of the garage, and is of cream-painted cyclone wire.
