WONGA PARK COMMUNITY COTTAGE - Physical Description 1
The Community Cottage is a simple gabled cottage with a skillion section at the rear. It is clad in cement sheet and weatherboards and has a corrugated iron roof. The windows are triple lights with horizontal glazing bars. The porch appears to be more recent. At the rear is a relocatable classroom, connected to the cottage by a deck.
There are two precast concrete component chimneys on one side, each with a rubble stone base.
The rear chimney is embossed with a name/brand: PICKERING'S F....INGTON ("Pickering's Flemington"), a prefabricated type of chimney seen on several buildings in the Berwick area.[2]
