ARCHITECTURE
Inter-War Bungalow with Federation Influences
No 76 Oakover Street is a single-storey house constructed in rendered brick house with a hipped and gable corrugated iron roof. It is a fine expression of the Inter-War Bungalow style. It is asymmetrically composed with a thrust gable bay and a part-width hip roofed verandah. The verandah is supported on Tuscan columns over a balustrade wall. The north section of the verandah has been enclosed. The half-timbered gable features a pair of double hung sash windows under a sunhood. There is a centrally located front door flanked by windows. The windows appear to be replacements.
