House

Statement of Significance

The residence is a representative example of the Asymmetrical Front style of Australian vernacular architecture.

Physical Description

The building is sited to the building line of the south-east comer of the Austral and Campbell Streets intersection. The building addresses Campbell Street.

The slngle-storey residence features a bay that extends towards Campbell Street which is covered by a flying gabled roof with decorative fret work and finlai. The remainder of the root is hipped and a bullnosed roof protects a verandah that stretches across the remainder of the front elevation. The verandah roof is supported on circular iron posts which are free of decoration that replaced original fabric. The main roof features tall corbelled brick chimneys that are in poor condition.

The building is in stretcher bond brickwork and has an window opening in the bay which has been partially bricked-up. The opening was a semi-circular arch that has been replaced by a standard aluminium framed sliding window.

A brick addition with a lean-to roof extends across the rear elevation. The addition has been constructed in timber framing.
