ARCHITECTURE
No 24 Alexandra Road is a single-storey house constructed in brick and rendered brick with an ‘M’ format corrugated iron roof. It is an expression of the Federation Bungalow style. It is asymmetrically composed with a gable bay and a full-width return broken back roofed verandah. The verandah extends over the gable bay and is supported on steel posts. A steel balustrade spans between the posts. There is a central door flanked by windows. The verandah has been extended south and modified to fit a basement level garage. The roofscape features a rendered chimney. There are rendered quoins to the original openings. The gable has been simplified and verandah detailing lost.
