77 Gladstone Street - Physical Description 1
The house at 77 Gladstone Street, Kew, is a single-storey double-fronted timber cottage on a symmetrical plan. The hipped slate roof is finished with bracketed eaves and a single red face brick chimney with moulded caps. Located on the eaves line of the principal elevation is a pair of gabled pediments, altered with the introduction of cladding within the gable end. The facade is block-fronted and the walls elsewhere are finished with conventional weatherboard. The facade is screened by a full-width skillion-roofed verandah with timber posts and cast iron frieze and brackets and the entrance is marked by a third pediment, echoing those in the main roofscape; the gable end is finished with a carved screen. The centrally located entrance contains a panelled timber door and is flanked by two windows with timber-framed double-hung sashes.
The front boundary is unfenced and the house is largely obscured by native garden.
