Ross Street
No 3 is a beautiful early Federation house (c.1906) with a wonderful front entrance set of leadlight in the front door panels, the sidelights and tops and in the fanlight in which there is some stained glass. While this is a Federation era house the leadlight is decidedly Victorian in design. It is almost entirely geometric in design and contains beautiful rondels and smaller jewels. The colours are quite vivid and the whole entrance is beautiful. There is also a bull’s eye to the left of the front door that is difficult to see from the street but it too has a geometric design.
