ARCHITECTURE

Inter-War Spanish Mission

No 21 Walter Street is a single storey house constructed in limestone, brick and rendered brick with a hipped tiled roof. It is a very fine expression of the Inter-War Spanish Mission style. It is asymmetrically composed with a part width arcaded porch. The porch sits proud of the house and is supported on barley twist columns. There is a pair of front doors flanked by sets of casement windows. There is a sunhood over the northern set of windows. The place sits on limestone foundations. The lower walls to the front facade are face brick and rendered above sill height. A soldier course header divides the face brick and rendered sections. The side elevations are rendered. The roofscape features a rendered chimney.
