ARCHITECTURE
Federation with Gothic Influences
No. 60 - 64 (previously was no. 136 - 140) Duke Street is a triplex constructed in rendered masonry with gabled corrugated iron roofs. It is a fine expression of the Federation Bungalow style applied to a triplex. The front elevation is symmetrically planned with three tall rendered masonry brick gables featuring cartouches. They have matching bull-nose roof verandahs supported on timber posts. Each front elevation is asymmetrically planned with an offset entry door flanked by a window. The place is consistent with the pattern of development in Plympton and plays an important role in the pattern of development of a working class suburb.
