ARCHITECTURE
Federation, Domestic Carpenter Villa with Queen Anne Influences
No 74 Hubble Street (was no 130 pre 1939) is a single-storey house constructed in timber framing and fibrous cement cladding with a hipped and gabled corrugated iron roof. It is a simple expression of the Federation Bungalow style. The place is asymmetrically planned with a gabled thrust bay and a part-width skillion roofed verandah. The verandah is supported on steel posts. There is a central door flanked by replacement aluminium sliding windows. The gable thrust bay features the same windows. The northern section of the verandah has been filled with corrugated sheeting and timber lattice.
