Dunach & Rowsley, Warragul

Dunach & Rowsley, Warragul

An interesting pair of Spanish Mission style houses in Warragul.

Dunach, Warragul

Dunach, on the left, is exceedingly plain with the exception of the leadlight windows and the stepped supports under the window sills.

Even the entrance, which is tucked down the side on the house looks to have little or no decoration.

Rowsley, Warragul

Rowsley, on the other hand, is a confection. Exotic arches at the entrance and along the verandah separated by barley twist columns.

Only the leadlight windows and the nameplates show that these houses are, indeed, a pair.

  1. Were they once one house, later divided into two self contained units? Was the side entrance to Dunach added later?

    1. I was wondering that myself. It would explain why Dunach is so plain.
