ARCHITECTURE
Federation / Queen Anne Influences
No. 26 (previously was no. 50) Glyde street is a single story residence constructed in 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 thrust gable bay and part width bullnosed roof verandah. The verandah is supported on turned timber posts. The thrust bay under the gabled roof features a set of three casement windows with a bullnosed sun hood over them. The openings have surrounds and have thrust corners and rendered quoins. The front door is set back in the verandah with a hopper and a sidelight. The door is flanked by casement windows.
