ARCHITECTURE
Federation / Inter-War Federation Bungalow
No 15 Dalgety Street is a single storey house constructed in rendered brick with a hipped and gambrel tiled roof. It is a fine expression of the Federation Bungalow style. The front elevation is asymmetrically planned with a full width return hip roofed verandah. The verandah is supported on timber posts with a valance board between the posts. The front facade features two sets of French doors flanked by casement lights. The entrance is on the south elevation under the return verandah. The roofscape features brick chimneys and finials.
