About

126 St Patrick's Road is a two-storey bungalow erected in 1925 at the side of the estate.

The Building

It has a distinctive pitched roof and verandah at the first storey. The residence comprises a single-storey portion at the rear which houses the living area and bedrooms. An innovative addition of an 'air chimney' ventilates the central windowless space of this building using the 'stack effect' to draw air out of the space and hence promote air movement. While this bungalow has less elaborate features than the other one on the same site, its elegant proportions and the use of Classical orders give the bungalow a stately presence.
