ARCHITECTURE
Federation/ Federation Bungalow with Georgian Influences
No. 3 (previously was no. 21) Preston Point road is a single-storey house constructed in rendered limestone and painted brick, with a hipped and gabled, corrugated-iron roof. The place is located on a corner lot that addresses both Preston Point Road and Hillside Road. The front elevation is asymmetrically planned with a full-width, return, hip-roofed verandah. The verandah is supported on Doric columns set over brick piers. A masonry balustrade spans between the piers. The columns, piers and balustrade are a later alteration to the original arrangement. The walls are rendered limestone with painted brick quoins and the roofscape features a pair of brick chimneys.
