ARCHITECTURE
Inter-War, Bungalow
No 23 Dalgety Street is a single storey house constructed in brick and rendered brick with a hipped and gable corrugated iron roof. It is a fine expression of the Inter-War Bungalow style. The front elevation is asymmetrically planned with a part width skillion roofed verandah. The verandah is supported on timber posts. There is a central, recessed door and hopper light flanked by side lights and sets of casement windows. Brickwork goes to sill height with rendered brick above.
HISTORY
1932 Dear Auntie Kitty, This is the second time I have written to you and seeing that my letter was acknowledged I hope to see this one in print. I am sending in a poem called Grandma's Angel. I go to Sunday school every Sunday, and sometimes I go to church at night. We are practising for our Anniversary, so I haven't any time to play. The little girl next door and I had to sing in Perth.—Your loving niece, Mary Forsberg, ‘’South Sea’’, 23 Dalgety-street, East Fremantle. (reference)
