ARCHITECTURE
Inter-War Bungalow Porch House with Queen Anne / Arts & Crafts Influences
No 44 May Street is a single-storey house constructed in limestone, brick and rendered brick with a hipped and gable tiled roof. It is a good expression of the Inter-War California Bungalow. It is asymmetrically composed with a thrust gable bay and a part-width hip roofed verandah. The verandah is supported on battered piers. A masonry balustrade spans between the piers. The half-timbered, gable bay features a set of casement windows under a tiled awning. There is a central door flanked by sidelights and a set of casement windows.
