ARCHITECTURE
No 177 Canning Highway is a single storey house constructed in painted and rendered brick with a hipped and gable tiled roof. It is a fine expression of the Inter-War California Bungalow style. The front elevation is asymmetrically planned with a part width, timbered, gabled verandah. The verandah is the dominant feature of the place. The verandah is supported on paired timber posts set on battered limestone piers. A rendered balustrade spans between the piers. Steps go from the driveway up to the verandah. The roofscape features a brick chimney and finials. The central entry is a pair of glazed doors flanked to the west by a further pair. To the east there is a bay window with casement lights.
