ARCHITECTURE
Federation / Domestic Carpenter Villa
No. 72 (previously was no. 144) King Street is a single storey cottage constructed in timber framing and weatherboard cladding with a hipped and gable corrugated iron roof. The place is a typical expression of the Federation Bungalow style with later modifications. The original verandah has been replaced. The front elevation is asymmetrically planned with a gable thrust bay and part width skillion roofed verandah. The gable bay features a pair of casement windows. The verandah is supported by infilling and a timber post. The verandah extends over most of the gable bay and acts as a sunhood. There is a central door that is flanked by the infill section of the verandah.
