Description
House. Built in 1904 by William J. Harrison Weller for his own residence. The house is constructed with applied timber framing, roughcast panels, and red brick. It has a plain tile gabled roof and tall brick stacks with stone caps. The style is Domestic Revival. The SE front is asymmetrical with three bays, featuring a wide gabled, two-storey canted bay window to the left and a wider gable over a canted ground floor bay window that continues to the central doorway, which is sheltered by an arcaded balcony with pierced balustrade; windows are leaded casements. The side and rear elevations are of red brick, with a gabled rear wing located to the right of centre, its roof extended over a smaller, single-storey wing on the right, and incorporating a tall brick stack with a small, canted bay at its base. The main roof slopes down as a catslide, with a flat-roofed dormer over a verandah containing an integral bay window. The interior, though uninspected, is documented as being complete and featuring Arts and Crafts details, including window seats, settles, inglenooks, plate rails, panelled doors with elaborate Art Nouveau copper plates, and a staircase with pierced balusters.
