    58 Hesse Street, Queenscliff - Physical Description 1

    58 Hesse Street is a parapetted and stuccoed building of two levels, which was built from random sandstone rubble, and bricks where chimneys were required. The stucco-work is more decorative than its prototype at 60 Hesse Street, with a dentillated cornice, quoining, a scrolled and stepped parapet and console couplets at each end return of the cornice.

    In addition, the residential entrance has been recessed and provided with a cast-iron fringed balcony above, which has similarly patterned balustrade panels to those once posessed by Olinda (qv) opposite.

    The shop-windows have been replaced and most of the ground level gutted. The building once possessed a posted verandah which has been replaced since with a cantilever verandah.

    Extract from the 2009 study

    58 Hesse Street is situated on the west side of Hesse Street, between Stokes and Hobson streets. It is built from random sandstone rubble and bricks that have been rendered with stucco. The stucco-work is more decorative than its prototype at 60 Hesse Street, with a dentillated cornice, quoining, a scrolled and stepped parapet and console couplets at each end return of the cornice.

    The residential entrance has been recessed and provided with a cast-iron fringed balcony above, which has decorative balustrade panels.

    The shop-windows have been replaced and most of the ground level gutted. The building's posted verandah was replaced with a cantilever verandah in the mid-twentieth century, however since the earlier study this has been replaced with a sympathetic timber posted verandah.
