ARchitecture
Federation Villa with Queen Anne Influences
No. 86 (previously was no. 182) Duke Street is a single-storey house constructed in brick and rendered brick with a hipped and gabled corrugated iron roof. It is a rich expression of the Federation Cottage Ornée style. The front elevation is asymmetrically planned with a gabled bay complete with polygonal bay windows and elaborate bargeboards.
The place is consistent with the pattern of development in Plympton and plays an important role in the pattern of development of a working class suburb.
