ARCHITECTURE

Federation, Domestic Carpenter Villa with Queen Anne Influences

No 57 (previously know as No 106) Hubble Street is a single-story house constructed in timber framing, plastic and corrugated iron cladding with a hipped and gabled corrugated iron roof. It is an eclectic expression of the Federation Bungalow style. The place is asymmetrically planned with a thrust bay and a part-width skillion roofed verandah. The verandah is supported on timber posts and has a St Andrews Cross pattern balustrade. The timber posts and balustrade are a later addition. The thrust bay has a pair of double hung sash windows. There is a central door flanked by French doors.
