SUPERINTENDENT'S HOUSE (FORMER) - Physical Description 1
'Aldersyde' (former) at 903 Park Street, Brunswick, is a large two-storey bichrome brick Italianate house. Asymmetrically planned, it has a brown brick facade with cream brick diaperwork, and red brick rear walls. The return verandah and balcony, which have paired columns and cast iron lacework friezes and balustrading, run between projecting rectangular bays at the south-west and north-east corners, which have gabled roofs with return eaves. Windows are timber-framed double-hung sashes; those on the ground floor of the front day have original leadlit highlights. The hipped roof has bracketed eaves and is penetrated by striped bichrome brick chimneys.
Externally alterations include replacement of the original slate roof with a terracotta tiles roof, and the addition of a rear fire access stair and single storey weatherboard extension.
The front garden retains some early features such as the corner entry gate location, an overgrown pittosporum hedge and several large trees.
