ROSEMONT - Physical Description 1
This is a simple and typical late 19th century weatherboarded hipped roof return-verandahed house with a projecting gabled bay with bracketed eaves, architraves to windows, and fringed and moulded barges. Simple iron brackets adorn the verandah and corrugated iron covers the roof. The main door has side and top-lights. Mature Monterey cypress are at the front and side of the house.
ROSEMONT - Physical Conditions
The verandah appears to have been partially enclosed and the presumed picket fence and gate replaced with chain wire and post & wire.
