    House at 357 Geelong Road - Physical Description 1

    Californian Bungalow in form, the house retains its smooth and rough-cast stucco and unpainted red brick walls. Aligned with this use of natural finishes, are the Marseilles pattern terra-cotta tiles used on the roof, Not unlike a stripped version of Pebbles (q.v.), further east in Geelong Road, this house has limited but precise detailing, including the ox-bow arched gable vent, the porch stair and balustrade, terra-cotta scotias, and formed brackets set under the window bay eaves.
    
    The bay itself provides a minor geometric volume in an interplay of gabled forms. The side porch hints at the cruciform plan of some early Bungalows and the Eastern-style fretted brackets to the deep eaves are details carried over from the previous Queen Anne.
