Inter-War Bungalow w Federation Influences
No 113 Petra Street is a single storey house constructed in brick and rendered brick with a hipped and gable tiled roof. It is an expression of the Federation Bungalow style. The front elevation is asymmetrically planned with a thrust gable bay and a part width hip roofed verandah. The verandah is supported on timber posts. The half-timbered gable bay features a set of casement windows under a sunhood. The entrance is located on the north elevation under the verandah. The front elevation features two roundel windows. The roofscape features a rendered chimney and finials. Walls to the front elevation are tuck-pointed brick with rendered string courses. Since 2006 paint has been removed from the front elevation to reveal the original house finishes. Side elevations remain painted.
