Residential
House; 64-70 Brisbane Street, BERWICK - Physical Description 1
This bungalow with a high hipped roof and central porch entry is centrally located in a large garden with occasional mature plantings. In character and style, it reflects the exotic Eastern influences often apparent in Inter-war houses, in this instance an Indian influence. Constructed of bichromatic tapestry bricks, the house appears largely intact externally apart from the west wing which has been added in sympathy with the bungalow character, but distinguished by different materials, namely roof shingles and stained weatherboard walls. A pergola has also been added to the end of the porch and is basically in keeping with the original design character. The front windows with highlighted brick plinths and lintels, have fixed square central panes with diamond leadlight in the upper sashes either side. Cedar decking and wing additions to the rear of the house are sympathetic and provide generous outdoor entertainment space.
