Physical Description

Federation Domestic Carpenter Gable Cottage No 84 Glyde Street is a single storey cottage constructed in timber framing and fibrous cement cladding with a gabled corrugated iron roof. It is a simple expression of the Federation Bungalow style that has been adapted. Part of the verandah has been enclosed with fibrous cement cladding. The front elevation was symmetrically planned but is now asymmetrical. The facade features a full width skillion roofed verandah supported on timber posts. There is a central door and hopper light flanked by side lights. On one side of the door is a double hung sash 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.
