Statement of Significance

This is one of a number of houses of heritage value in this street and precinct. Whilst not the most ^
significant of these it is nevertheless worth preserving as part of the whole streetscape.

Physical Description

1995 Comment: Of historic and architectural interest in prominent heritage streetscape/precinct.
"Federation Filigree" bungalow built prior to 1901 with gable-fronted, hipped roof of tile over the main house and iron over the verandahs. Gable front is pebbledash over lathe. A pair of small double-hung windows are set symmetrically in the projecting bay beneath the gable. At this point the verandah projects forward. The walls are tuckpointed red brick with a string course of stucco at windowsill height. The projecting bay has had the walls painted red. These verandah posts are also square and chamfered whereas the others to the front and side are turned. The verandah railing is supported by square section balusters. The frieze is narrow composed of 15 centimetre square section rods. Fretted brackets decorate each post. The windows to the other section of the front verandah are double-hung floor to ceiling. The front wooden door is Victorian with a large central glass pane and two smaller panes above. On each side there is a side light. The glass is strongly geometric stained glass. Rendered brick piers with fleur-de-lys tipped iron railings separate the garden from the street verge.
2005 Review: The replacement tile roof and bargeboards have lost characteristic detail. The carport at the streetline, whilst sympathetic in form and materials, does intrude to a degree on the setting of the house.
