ARCHITECTURE
Federation, Gable Domestic Carpenter with Gothic Influences
No. 8 (previously was no. 22) Hubble street is a single-storey cottage constructed in timber framing and weatherboard cladding with a gabled corrugated iron roof. It is a fine expression of the Federation Cottage Ornée style. The place is asymmetrically planned with return bullnose roofed verandah. The verandah is supported by square timber posts with timber brackets. There is a vertical timber balustrade between the timber posts. The gable wall rises above the verandah and it has an elaborately worked barge at the roof verge.
