Federation Gable Domestic Carpenter. No 76 Duke Street is a single storey house constructed of timber framing and weatherboard cladding with a hipped and gabled corrugated iron roof. There are later additions to the rear. It is a unusual simple expression of the Federation Bungalow style with a ‘L’ shaped plan that runs deep into the site. The front elevation is asymmetrically planned with a full width return bullnose roofed verandah. The verandah is supported on turned timber posts with post brackets. The place is consistent with the pattern of development in Plympton and plays an important role in the pattern of development of a working class suburb.
Plympton is a cohesive precinct where most of the places were constructed in the late nineteenth century and the first quarter of the twentieth century. It is comprised primarily of homes for workers and their families with a high concentration of small lots with timber, brick and stone cottages.
