officer's house

Terraced three-bay two-storey prison officer's house, built 1895, as part of terrace of six. Now in use as private house. Pitched artificial slate roof with rendered chimneystack and cast-iron rainwater goods. Painted rendered walls with painted limestone quoins. Square-headed openings with painted brick block-and-start surrounds and stone sills, having six-over-six pane timber sliding sash windows, stone sills and timber panelled half-glazed door with plain over-light. Decorative cast-iron boundary railings to front of site.

This modest house forms part of a terrace of similarly-designed and detailed buildings that occupy a prominent site on Emmet Street built as a scheme to accommodate prison officers and their families, near the former gaol. Its façade is enlivened by the brick surrounds and quoins and by the retention of features such as the cast-iron railings and rainwater goods and the timber sash windows and timber panelled door.
