ARCHITECTURE
Inter-War
Bungalow Porch house w Federation Influences
No 14 Gill Street is a single storey house constructed in rendered brick with a hipped and gable corrugated iron roof. It is a fine expression of the Inter-War Bungalow style. The front elevation is asymmetrically planned with a thrust gable bay and a full width return hip roofed verandah. The verandah is supported on Tuscan columns set over piers. A curved top balustrade spans between the piers. The gable bay features a set of double hung sash windows. There is a central door and hopper light flanked by side lights and sets of windows.
The place retains its form and most of its details. There are additions to the rear.
The place is consistent with the building pattern in the Precinct. The place plays an important role in the pattern of development of a middle class suburb.
