Description
Framland is a house built in 1862 by James Brooks for Judge J. Mackonockie. It is constructed of Flemish bond red brick with limestone ashlar bands and dressings, topped with an old tile roof featuring crested ridge tiles and brick stacks. The building is designed in an L-plan and reflects an early French Gothic style influenced by Viollet-le-Duc's "Dictionnaire." It is two storeys high and has a two-window range. The front features asymmetrical gables, with a recessed porch in the right gable wall. This porch has a pointed hood mould and a pointed brick and ashlar tympanum above a chamfered segmental arched doorway, which contains a chamfered pointed arch over a plank door with decorative hinges. There are similar tympanum arches over the casement windows to the right and horned sash windows to the left, with two sashes above divided by a column with foliate capitals. The roof is gabled, with front and rear lateral stacks. The sides and rear of the house are in a similar style, with shouldered heads on some windows. The interior has not been inspected.
