Architecture

Federation with Gothic Influences

No. 31 - 33 (previously was no. 76 - 83) Duke Street is a duplex constructed in limestone and brick with gabled corrugated iron roofs. It is a fine expression of the Federation Bungalow style applied to a duplex. The front elevation is symmetrically planned with a pair of tall Flemish bond brick gables. The lower walls are random course limestone with brick quoins. The front facades have matching bull-nose roof verandahs supported on timber posts with timber balustrades at the verandah edge.
