South Coogee Federation Classics

Coogee Federation Classics

[previous page: Eastern Suburbs Federation Bungalows ] [next page: ]
Coogee is a suburb of contrasts, beach and cliffs, apartments on the lower ground, large established houses on the heights.
I think this Federation Bungalow house has to be the star of the suburb:

And a side view, check out all the chimneys in perfect condition;
Note the large 5-pane bay window and the two bow bay windows in the front, with excellent detailing:
House, Higgs and Thomas Streets, Coogee

The Queen Anne style is particularly well represented by this building in Dudley Street:

Another Queen Anne style residence on the flat area of Carr Street has been renovated to resemble the Arts and Crafts style, down on the flat:

Here is a front view from Google Street View: (sorry about the quality)

This is quite a large residence, isn't it!
