ARCHITECTURE
No 35 Canning Highway is a single storey house in limestone and rendered masonry with a hipped and gabled corrugated iron roof. It is a simple expression of the Federation Bungalow style. The front elevation is asymmetrically planned with a prominent gabled thrust bay with an elaborate carved barge board. The facade features a part width bull-nosed roofed verandah on timber posts over a concrete floored verandah with steps leading down to the garden. The place has been extensively modified but retains its basic form.
