A double-fronted timber Californian Bungalow with a gabled roof. The major gable is a cross with the right bay and the right side projecting as minor gables. The roof is clad with Marseilles terra-cotta tiles with a brick chimney. Upper gables have shingles with latticed vents supported on brackets. There roof extends break-pitch over the angle as a verandah, supported on timber posts on brick rendered piers and balustrade. At left is a corner window and at right, a rectangular bay with flat roof. Windows are pairs, upper-sashes, nine-paned. It is probably a State Savings Bank of Victoria House. There are many deciduous trees in the garden.

Very good. The balustrade and piers appear to have been altered. Colour scheme is appropriate.

Very good. Some tiles may have slipped.
