ARCHITECTURE

Inter-War Californian Bungalow

No 5 Oakover Street is a single storey house constructed in brick and rendered brick with a hipped and gable tiled roof. It is a fine expression of the Inter-War California Bungalow style. It is symmetrically composed with an offset gabled roofed porch. The half-timbered porch is supported on Tuscan columns set on piers. The porch is set proud of the remainder of the house. There is a central door flanked by casement windows. The windows are protected by tiled sunhoods. The lower walls are face brick and the upper walls are rendered. The roofscape features finials.
