ARCHITECTURE

Federation, Georgian Influences

No 67 (previously known as No 127) Hubble Street is a single-story cottage constructed in rendered masonry with a hipped corrugated iron roof. It is a good and simple expression of the Federation Bungalow style. There are a number of modifications to the windows and finishes. It is symmetrically planned with a central door flanked by replacement windows. The windows are a central fixed pane flanked by casement windows. The facade features full-width bullnose roofed verandah supported on timber posts. There is a parapet wall to the north lot boundary.
