12 Stodart Street - Physical Description 1
12 Stoddart Street, Camberwell is an almost symmetrical, hipped roof design from quite late in the bungalow period - 1928. Its roof is clad in terra-cotta shingles and is punctuated by two solidly built non-original dormers on either side of a large, half-recessed central porch supported on two thick piers coming out of the front walls and capped with a pyramidal roof complimenting the larger hipped roof above it. Each of these hipped roofs flares just above the eave line. The two dormers are not original and appear to date from 1996-7.[i] The walls are stuccoed round all parts of the house that are visible from the street. The earlier stone fence and broad front pathway has been replaced by a picket fence in what Graeme Butler described as 'an inappropriate nineteenth century pattern',[ii] diluting the original impressive horizontality of the street front below the roof. The diamond-pane upper sashes, in thick frames, are generally characteristic of the bungalow period and of other free style architecture in the United States, and the tall quarter-turned chimneys give a hint of Tudor, which was gathering momentum as a residential style at this time. Butler has observed the house suggests Arthur Purnell's designs in other suburbs, reflecting his experience working in China.[iii]
[i] The dormers do not appear on the 1991 drawing showing proposed alterations and additions and are not in the 1991 site survey photograph. G Butler, Camberwell Conservation Study 1991, v. 4, p. 263.
[ii] G Butler, Camberwell Conservation Study 1991, v. 4, p. 263.
