ARCHITECTURE
Late Victorian / Early Federation Domestic Carpenter w Federation / Georgian Influences
No. 13 (previously was no. 41) King Street is a single storey cottage constructed in brickwork with a hipped corrugated iron roof. It is a simple expression of the Federation Bungalow style. The front elevation is symmetrically planned with a central door and hopper light flanked by sidelights and double hung sash windows. The facade features a full width bullnosed roofed verandah supported on timber posts. 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.
