HOUSE - Physical Description 1
53 King Street is a two-storey rendered brick house, Italianate in style. It is asymmetrical in form, with a two storey return verandah to the north of the front facade, and a polygonal bay to the south. Above this bay is a balustraded balcony surmounted by urns, and above this corner of the house a tower lit by narrow arched windows. The verandah has cast iron lacework friezes at both levels, and balustrading at first floor levels. Windows are timber-framed double-hung, some with arched heads, and many retain their rendered mouldings. The hipped roof has bracketed eaves.
The cast iron palisade fence remains at the front of the property but the stables to the rear have been demolished.
