ARCHITECTURE
Inter-War / Bungalow w/ Federation Influences
No 66 Dalgety Street is a single storey house constructed in tuck pointed brick with a hipped and gable tiled roof. It is a very fine expression of the Federation Queen Anne style. The front facade is symmetrically planned with a full width return broken back roofed verandah. The verandah is supported on timber posts with a curved valance board. A vertical timber balustrade spans between the posts. The entrance addresses the street and is located under the return verandah to the south. There are spayed bay windows at the verandah ends. The bay windows feature casement lights. Gabled roofs sit over these. The roofscape features rendered chimneys and finials.
