Eastern Suburbs Federation Bungalows

These are generally big homes, always single-storey, and rather heavy-set. I like them a lot.
Most of these were built between the wars, and qualify as Federation because they have only one frontal gable, over the bedroom, and the sweeping hip roof extends protectively over the verandah.

This is probably Rosebery's most famous heritage house, a stone bungalow in Tweedmouth Avenue.

This Kensington Bungalow is truly very protective of its verandahs, and the owners are very house proud. From this side, a Federation verandah is visible, but the roof is not hipped, there being two gables on the other corner, so the other side looks Californian.

Notice the gable over the front room, very distinctively different. It has an Arts and Crafts feel.
