Federation House Original Exterior Colour Scheme

Page 1 of 1
Hi all,

Am renovating a 1908 Federation Homestead house in country WA. Trying to paint house in original colour scheme but not getting very far.

I have rubbed and scraped and may have found the colours of Pale Green or Grey. Bullnose veranda was either red/white or red/cream. Bottom side of bullnosing looks to be pale green.

Any info would be appreciated.

Have attached pic of current facade and also earliest pic I have which was taken in 1924.

Do you think this kitchen is original

Kitchen Corner

No. It's not original. Circa early to mid 90s would be my guess and maybe even as late as early 2000s
