ARCHITECTURE
No 49 Alexandra Road 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 Porch style. The place is built on a corner lot that addresses Alexandra Street and Parry Avenue. It is asymmetrically composed with a thrust gable bay and a part width low pitch roofed verandah. The verandah is supported on rendered masonry piers. A rendered masonry balustrade spans between the piers. The gable bay features a set of double hung sash windows under a sunhood. There is a central door flanked by a set of three double hung sashes. The roofscape features tall rendered chimneys and finials.
