    Romford, 105 Hesse Street, Queenscliff - Physical Description 1

    Romford like Carnbrea and Kelvinargh, had a facade of ashlar pattern timber cladding, a hipped roof clad with iron, and an asymmetrical plan. A simple, shallow bullnose verandah is supported on timber posts and brackets, the latter being scalloped in profile and pierced with quatrefoil shapes. The main bay window is decorated with spiralled colonnettes which support a chaste window hood. The scalloped, spade-head picket fence and gates are near to intact, as is the rest of Romford, with the exception of partial filling in of the back verandah. It is part of a streetscape which was built predominantly between c.1896-c.1900 as a result of the church's subdivision. Romford is one of the key houses of this group.

    Extract from the 2009 study

    Romford is a single-storey weatherboard Italianate villa set back from Hesse Street behind a mature garden bounded by a timber picket fence with a central lych-gate. The house has a hipped roof clad in corrugated galvanised steel sheeting and red brick chimneys with rendered bands and Classically-inspired mouldings. The street-facing (west) elevation of the house is asymmetrically composed. A canted bay window projects at right towards the street. This window is decorated with spiralled colonettes which support a chaste window head. The remainder of the street-facing elevation has a verandah, with a concave roof, extending across it featuring timber brackets with a scalloped profile pierced with quatrefoil shapes. The scalloped, spade-head picket fence and gates appear early.
