ARCHITECTURE
Federation, Gable Terrace w Carpenter Gothic Influences
No. 25 (previously was no. 67) Sewell street is a pair of single story cottages constructed in limestone and brick construction with render decorative details. The place has a pair of prominent gabled roofs and hipped corrugated iron roofs. The gables are highly decorative complete with render niches set into their brick gables. It is a very fine expression of a duplex in the Federation Cottage Ornée Bungalow style. The pair is symmetrically planned with a party wall flanked by full width bull-nosed roofed verandahs. The verandahs are supported on timber posts. The entry doors are equally offset from the party wall and are flanked by pairs of double hung sash windows. All openings have brick quoins.
