ARCHITECTURE

Federation / Georgian Influences

No. 50 (previously was no. 76) East street -Roselea- is a single storey house constructed in timber frame and fibro cladding with a hipped decramastic tiled roof. It is a simple expression of the Federation Bungalow style overlaid with Post-World War II Immigrant Nostalgia refurbishments. The front elevation is symmetrically planned with a central door flanked by windows. The facade features a skillion roofed verandah supported on Tuscan columns set over masonry piers resting on a concrete floor.
