Glen Street - Physical Description 1
The Glen Street Heritage Area displays Post-Federation houses. They consist mostly of double fronted detached houses in timber or brick. They are all single storey (second storey additions not taken into account).
Although there has been a reasonable degree of evolutionary changes in the precinct since its first development, the architecture retains a high degree of integrity.
