PRESBYTERIAN MANSE FORMER) - Physical Description 1
The former Presbyterian Manse at 28 Giles Street, Mirboo North appears as a Victorian hip and valley villa with matching projecting bays at each side. The origin of this unusual form is probably due to the addition of a second projecting bay at the north to a formerly conventional asymmetrical house. The roof form, the location of the chimneys, and the design of the recessed facade and verandah support this assumption. Other notable elements include:
- The corbelled brick chimneys.
- The bullnose verandah with a square stop chamfered post and original cast iron frieze.
- Three part double hung windows in the front facade.
- A panelled door with a single sidelight.
- Eaves decoration may have been removed.
The front picket fence, though sympathetic in style, is not original.Heritage Study and Grading
