ARCHITECTURE
Late Victorian / Early Federation / Georgian Domestic Carpenter
No. 10 (previously was no. 24) Glyde street is a single storey cottage constructed in timber framing and feather edged weatherboards with a hipped corrugated iron roof. It is a good expression of the Federation Bungalow style. The front elevation is symmetrically planned with a central door flanked by single pane double hung sash windows. The facade features a full width skillion roofed verandah supported on stop chamfered timber posts over a timber floor. There is a simple timber and wire balustrade between the posts. An open tread stair spans between the verandah and an elevated garden. A masonry stair spans from the base of the timber stair to the lot boundary.
