ARCHITECTURE

Federation / Georgian Influences w Post-War Adaptation

No 33 (previously known as No 69) Hubble Street is a single story house constructed in brick with a hipped tiled roof. The place was originally an expression of the Federation Bungalow style but has been adapted in the Post-World War II style. It is symmetrically planned with a central door flanked by windows. The facade features a full width skillion roofed verandah supported on brick piers. Between the brick piers is a brick wall. Almost all openings have been re-worked to include casement and picture windows. The original brickwork and render bands remain.
