HOUSE - Physical Description 1
The house at 42 Brown Street is a Federation/Edwardian timber bungalow. The house as it appears today is a result of the significant alterations and additions carried out in 1913-14. Asymmetrical in plan, it has a steeply pitched hip roof with a gablet, projecting gables to the front and on the west side, and a separate return verandah contained between the bays, which is supported by original turned timber posts (the brackets are sympathetic, but not original). The house is clad in square-edged weatherboards and there are small, half timbered 'flying' gables and notched weatherboards (to resemble shingling) in the gable ends. There are paired double-hung sash windows to the front bay, and two box bay windows with triple casement windows with toplights to the front and side walls under the verandah, and the original front door has sidelights and highlights (the leadlight glass is not original, but the coloured glass to the corner toplights is). There are two tall corbelled brick chimneys with rendered caps.
The house has a high degree of external intactness and integrity when viewed from the street. Visible changes include replacement of the verandah floor with concrete, new windows in the west side projecting bay (the window to the verandah having replaced a door), the addition of a window hood to the projecting bay. Additions have been made at the rear of the property and the present owner (2014) has sympathetically restored the windows along the east elevation.
A gable-fronted garage has been built on the north side of the house.
