ARCHITECTURE

Interwar, Bungalow w Arts & Crafts Influences
No 32 Irwin Street is a single storey house constructed in limestone, brick and rendered brick with a hipped and gable tiled roof. It is a good expression of the Inter-War Bungalow style with some later modifications. The place has been modified. The front elevation is asymmetrically planned with a full width return hip roofed verandah. The verandah features a gable roofed extension that sits centrally. The verandah is supported on turned timber posts. There is a central door flanked by sets of casement windows. The verandah has been extended north to act as a carport. The roofscape features finials. The lower walls are face brick and upper walls are rendered. The place retains its form and most of its details. There are additions to the rear.
