The White House

The White House is a house, dating from circa 1810, and later altered in the late 20th century. It is now used as an office. The house is built of stucco with a tile roof and is in a Georgian style. The main part of the building is two storeys with an attic, and has a six-window front, with a two-window forward break to the left end and a gable to the three windows to the right of this. There are modillioned cornices above the bow window on either side of the gable. The round-headed entrance, positioned to the right of the bow window, has a doorcase with pilasters, an entablature and plain open pediment. Above the door is a fanlight with ogee glazing bars, and the entrance itself has a six-panel door in panelled reveals. The two-storey bow window on the left end is rusticated with pilaster strips on panelled plinths for both floors, along with an entablature on slender brackets to the ground floor and a continuation of the top cornice on slender brackets to the first floor. The ground floor windows to the right have 16-pane sashes, with a 12-pane sash at the right end. The first floor windows have 16-pane top-hung casements, with flanking windows having 12-pane casements. The attic has six, eight, and six-pane casements in the gable. The rear of the building features a 20th-century range and wing. The interior has been altered.
