DESCRIPTION
This weatherboard Federation Bungalow style house is located on a hillside at the corner of Bage & Hyde Streets, facing Hyde Street. The house has a hipped corrugated iron clad main roof and a gabled projecting room bay on the west, with a half-timbered gable end. The chimney is more typical of the Victorian-era, with its heavy cemented cornice, made more so by the overpainting of the (red) brick shaft. Timber verandah detail includes a slatted frieze, turned posts, fretted brackets and a timber balustrade.
