Rosebery Federation Bungalows re-visited

Rosebery Federation Bungalows re-visited

  • These houses are mostly not on Gardener’s road, although the first two houses, including the one with timber fence, verandah frieze and carport are on that road.
  • All of these have their own grace. See for yourself.

This is tuckpointed! Probably missing some gable decoration? Chimney is different… could this be Arts & Craft minimal style?

This however, is rendered. Has some remaining character…

Finally, a superb Californian Bungalow:
