ARCHITECTURE
Inter-War Gable Porch House Bungalow
No 5 Fraser Street 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. It is asymmetrically composed with an offset gable roofed porch. The porch sits proud of the house and is supported on Tuscan columns set on piers. A rendered balustrade spans between the piers. There is a central door and hopper light flanked by sets of double hung sash windows. Horizontal sunhoods cover the windows to either side of the porch. The roofscape features tall rendered chimneys and finials.
