      Residence - Physical Description 1

      DESCRIPTION:

      This fine and distinctive interwar bungalow was built in 1934. The essentially square plan form of this single storey house is accentuated by the pyramidal form of the hipped roof. which extends to form deep eaves supported by exposed rafters. Lapped corrugated galvanised iron clads the roof and roughcast stucco is used as a finish for the walls which are most likely made of brick or bluestone recycled from the demolished flour mill that was on this site.
      The front elevation has a well proportioned symmetrical design. The entrance is marked by a large flat roofed porch which has distinctive exposed decorative rafters. It is supported by high tapered and stuccoed piers. There are banks of three double-hung timber windows, with leadlight in the upper lights, framed by smooth render, either side of the centrally positioned front door. The fine stuccoed finish seen on the piers is reflected in the tapered and stuccoed chimney design with a terra cotta chimney pot.

      In front of the porch piers are Bhutan (?) Cypress trees.
