Dental Clinic - Physical Description 1
A single storey timber, symmetrical double fronted Californian Bungalow with an attic, on a brick base. It has a large gable-roof facing, with a minor gable at right with a rectangular bay window. Gutters are the original ogee profile, gables are supported on curved brackets. The upper front gable has vertical strips as a ventilator, on bull-nosed brackets. Below is a recessed balcony, with curved transom as a ventilator, on bull-nosed brackets. Below is a recessed balcony, with curved transom and canvas sun-blind. Below are shingles, battered at their base on bull-nosed bracket pairs. There is a flat roofed, central porch, continuing at sides as window hoods, with impressive deep brackets: ogee for the porch and curved for the windows. The porch is supported on squat Tuscan columns on plates, supported by bull-nosed brick brackets on tuck-pointed brick piers and balustrade. Brick steps have plate pedestals.
The entrance itself is recessed with double leadlight Edwardian doors. Windows are tripartite, projecting on bull-nosed brackets with curved transoms and leadlight upper sashes. The fence is woven crimp-wire mesh and tubular rails on a brick dwarf wall and piers with two pedestrian gates of curlicue ribbon and tube, with a barley sugar palisade panel. At right is a lattice side screen.
