ARCHITECTURE
No 192 Canning Highway is a single storey house constructed in limestone and rendered brick with an 'M' format corrugated iron roof. It is a very fine expression of the Federation Bungalow style. It is asymmetrically composed with a gabled thrust bay and a part width, return curved roofed verandah. The verandah is supported on timber posts with brackets. A vertical timber balustrade runs between the posts. The gable bay features a pair of double hung sash windows. There is a central door flanked by double hung sash windows. Walls are random coursed limestone with rendered quoins. The roofscape features masonry chimneys.
