ARCHITECTURE
Late Victorian / Early Federation Villa with Queen Anne Influences
No. 66 (previously was no. 142) Duke Street is a single-storey house in random course limestone and brick construction with a hipped and gabled corrugated iron roof. A broken back roofed verandah spans part of the front facade.
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.
