ARCHITECTURE
Inter-War Californian Bungalow
No 39 Oakover Street is a single storey house constructed in rendered brick with a hipped and gable tiled roof. It is a fine expression of the Inter-War California Bungalow style. It is asymmetrically composed with an offset gable roofed porch. The porch is supported on square columns set on piers. A rendered balustrade spans between the piers. The porch roof extends over the adjacent windows to act as a sunhood. There is a central door flanked by casement windows.
