ARCHITECTURE
Late Victorian / Early Federation , Regency Influences
No. 66 (previously was no. 98) East street is a single storey house constructed in timber framing and rusticated weatherboard with a hipped corrugated iron roof. It is a rich expression of the Federation Bungalow style. The front elevation is asymmetrically planned with a polygonal bay window in a thrust bay to the north. The front door is setback and there are French doors to the south. The facade features a skillion roofed verandah on timber posts. The verandah follows the plan of the house and extends over full frontage. A particular feature of the eaves is their corbel brackets.
