Federation with Gothic Influences. No 60-64 Duke Street is a triplex constructed in rendered masonry with gabled corrugated iron roofs. It is a fine expression of the Federation Bungalow style applied to a triplex. The front elevation is symmetrically planned with three tall rendered masonry brick gables featuring cartouches. They have matching bullnose roof verandahs supported on timber posts. Each front elevation is asymmetrically planned with an offset entry door flanked by a window. 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.
Plympton is a cohesive precinct where most of the places were constructed in the late nineteenth century and the first quarter of the twentieth century. It is comprised primarily of homes for workers and their families with a high concentration of small lots with timber, brick and stone cottages.
