ARCHITECTURE

Federation / Mid 20th Century Adapt. Bungalow

No. 10 (previously was no. 28) Hubble street is a single storey cottage constructed in rendered masonry construction with a hipped corrugated iron roof. The place has been extensively adapted in the Post-World War II style. It is asymmetrically planned with a full width and return hip roofed verandah. The verandah is supported on timber posts. The front facade features two windows. Almost all openings have been re-worked to include casement and picture windows. A driveway runs along the south of the lot. The driveway negotiates the level change between the street and verandah.
