ARCHITECTURE
No 22 Alexandra Road is a single-storey house constructed in limestone and rendered brick with a hipped and gable tiled roof. It is an expression of the Federation Bungalow style. It is asymmetrically composed with a thrust gable bay and a part-width return skillion roofed verandah. The verandah terminates at the gable bay and is supported on Tuscan columns set over piers. A vertical timber balustrade spans between the piers. The gable bay features a pair of double hung sash windows under a tiled awning. The entry door is on the south elevation under the return verandah. It is unlikely that the place was rendered in the first instance. The roofscape features rendered chimneys.
