ARCHITECTURE
No 64 Allen Street is a single storey house constructed in brickwork, rendered brick and limestone with a hipped and gabled tiled roof. It is a fine expression of the Inter-War California Bungalow style. The front elevation is asymmetrically planned with a thrust gable bay and a part width gable roofed verandah. The verandah is set on limestone and rendered piers with a limestone balustrade. The gable bay features a set of three casement windows under a tiled awning. A broad set of steps leads down to the garden from the verandah. It has a central door flanked by sidelights and casement windows. The roofscape is an important feature of the house with sweeping half-timbered gables.
