ARCHITECTURE

Late Victorian / Early Federation, Victorian Regency

No. 19 (previously was no. 41) Glyde street is a single-storey residence constructed of limestone and rendered brick with a hipped and gabled corrugated iron roof. It is a fine example of a Federation Bungalow style house. The front elevation is asymmetrically planned with a full-width and return skillion roof verandah. The verandah is supported on timber posts with a replacement St Andrew’s cross balustrade. There is a thrust bay under a gabled roof which features the front door and a single pane double hung sash window. The openings are surrounded with rendered quoins. The remainder of the house is set back from the thrust bay under a hipped roof.
