ARCHITECTURE
Inter-War Bungalow w Federation / Filigree Influences
No 35 Staton Road is a single storey house constructed in limestone, brick and rendered brick with a hipped and gable iron roof. It is a fine expression of the Inter-War Bungalow style. The place has influences of the earlier Federation Filigree style. The place sits on a corner lot that addresses both Staton Road and Alcester Street. It is asymmetrically composed with a thrust gable bay and a part width return skillion roof verandah. The verandah is supported on timber posts with decorative filigree work. A vertical timber balustrade spans between the posts. The verandah terminates at both ends at gable bays. The front gable bay is part timbered with a louvered panel. The gable is set over a bay window with casement windows and a sunhood. There is a central door flanked by a corner suite. The windows have decorative sills. The roofscape features brick chimneys with rendered caps. The place sits on a limestone foundation.
