Arts & Crafts Influences
No 10 Fortescue Street is a single storey house constructed in brick and rendered brick with a hipped and gable corrugated iron roof. It is a fine expression of the Federation Bungalow style with some Arts and Crafts influences. The front elevation is asymmetrically planned with an elaborate gabled thrust bay and a part width bullnose roof verandah. The verandah is supported on timber posts with a valance. The half-timbered gabled bay jetties over a range of casement windows protected by a deep sunhood. There is a central door flanked by side lights and a set of casement windows. The roofscape features render capped chimneys. Render bands run across the front facade.
The place retains its form and details. There are additions to the rear.
The place is consistent with the building pattern in the Precinct. The place plays an important role in the pattern of development of a middle class suburb.
Woodside is a relatively cohesive precinct where most of the places were constructed following the subdivision of W.D. Moore’s Estate commencing in 1912. Most of the lots were sold between 1912 and 1929 and the majority of buildings were completed in this time. Residences were substantial and of various Federation period styles distinguishing the area from the small worker’s cottages of Plympton. The Inter-War Californian Bungalow style residence is also represented in Woodside.
The Woodside Precinct remains largely intact in terms of original housing with little infill subdivision or replacement housing.
