ARCHITECTURE
No 79 Alexandra Road is a single storey house constructed in brick and rendered brick with a hipped tiled roof. It is a fine expression of the Inter-War Bungalow style. The place is located on a corner lot that addresses both Alexandra Road and Coolgardie Avenue. It is asymmetrically composed with a gable bay and a prominent gable roofed porch. The half timbered porch is supported on rendered columns. A rendered balustrade spans between the columns. The half timbered, gable bay features a set of windows under a tiled awning. There is a central pair of front doors flanked by sets of casement windows. The roofscape features rendered chimneys.
