Bungalow w Georgian Influences

No 23 Glyde Street is a single story residence constructed in limestone and rendered brick with a non-original hipped corrugated iron roof. It is a good example of a Federation Bungalow style house albeit that the roofscape has been modified and the eaves widened.

The façade features a full width skillion roof verandah supported on timber posts with post brackets. Between the posts is a contemporary timber and steel balustrade. The openings are surrounded with rendered quoins.
There are additions to the rear.
The place is consistent with the pattern of development in Plympton and plays an important role in the pattern of development of a working class suburb.
