45 Glyde Street — Streets of East Freo

ARCHITECTURE

Federation, Gothic Influences

No. 45 (previously was no. 87) Glyde street is one of a pair of residences constructed in limestone and brick with a hipped corrugated iron roof. It is a good example of a Federation Bungalow style duplex half house. The original front elevation is obscured by a brick verandah infill. The front elevation is asymmetrically planned with a door flanked by small pane windows. The facade features a full-width bullnosed roof verandah supported between flanking parapet walls.
