HOUSES - Physical Description 1
1999:
191-193 Edward Street, Brunswick, is a pair of attached bluestone cottages. The cottages, which comprise three rooms, have a continuous corrugated iron verandah supported by timber columns with Corinthian capitals and a cast iron frieze. The verandah end is infilled with vertical timber boarding.
The cottages have hipped roofs, clad partially in slate and partially in corrugated iron. Both materials are painted red. The bluestone walls have been painted white.
The steel front fence and large gates are not original, but the small pedestrian gate, of iron pickets, may be.
Internal inspection (in 1974) revealed that 193 was virtually intact. From the front door one enters a sitting room with corner fire place. The bedroom is the second room and is entered from a short passage that leads to the kitchen, still then retaining a wood fired stove. The scullery, laundry and bathroom had been enclosed into a timber extension.
