ARCHITECTURE
Federation, Federation Bungalow w Queen Anne / Arts & Crafts Influences
No 22 Hamilton Street is a single storey house constructed in limestone and rendered brick with a hipped and gable corrugated iron roof. It is a fine expression of the Federation Bungalow style with Arts and Crafts decorative motifs. The front elevation is asymmetrically planned with a gabled thrust bay and a full width return hip roofed verandah. The verandah is supported on Tuscan columns set over rendered piers. A masonry balustrade runs between the columns. The half-timbered, gable bay features a bay window. A double hung sash window flanked by sidelights sits in the bay window. There is a central door and hopper light flanked by sidelights and a pair of double hung sash windows. The original detail has to some extent been lost by rendering. The roofscape features rendered chimneys
