Physical Description

Federation Georgian Influences No 67 Glyde Street is a single storey residence constructed in rendered masonry with a hipped gable corrugated iron roof. It is an example of a Federation Bungalow style house that has been substantially remodelled. The front elevation is symmetrically planned with a central door and hopper light flanked by sidelights and double hung sash windows. The windows appear to have been modified from their original form. The facade features a replacement verandah. The verandah is a full width skillion roof verandah supported on timber posts. The front entrance has a rendered surround. There are additions to the rear and a carport to the side. 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.
