Inter-War Californian Bungalow
No 151 Petra Street is a single-storey house constructed in limestone, brick and rendered brick with a hipped and gable tiled roof. It is an expression of the Inter-War Bungalow style. The front elevation is asymmetrically planned with a thrust bay and a gable roofed porch. The half-timbered porch is supported on battered columns set over piers. A rendered balustrade spans between the piers. The half-timbered gable bay features a set of casement windows under a sunhood. There is a central door flanked by sets of casement windows. The place sits on limestone foundations. The walls are rendered with face brick highlight details. The roofscape features a rendered chimney and finials.
