34 South Street is a single storey timber and iron house constructed c.1920 in the Inter War Bungalow style of Architecture. The walls are timber framed and clad with timber weatherboards. The roof is pitched and clad with corrugated iron. The verandah is under a separate corrugated iron roof which wraps around the building and is supported by timber posts. There is a timber picket fence to the front boundary line, together with proliferate foliage making further description difficult.
House, 34 South Street was built c. 1920 for Margaret Twigg. Prior to this, there had been stables on the lot associated with House, 32 South Street.
The building was listed in the 1920/21 and 1921/22 rate books as a cottage. For the remainder of the 1920s it was listed as residence and shop. Margaret Twigg owned the property until c. 1925, although William Scott had been the occupant for about two years prior to this. Title was transferred to Ernest Hender, who was still the owners and occupier in the early 1950s.
A Metropolitan Sewerage plan dated 1954 shows a weatherboard house with a full length front verandah that wrapped around both sides. There was a galvanised iron laundry to the rear. A galvanised iron garage at the back of the yard was accessed via Carnac Lane (which ran between No. 34 and No. 36 South Street).
The Henders owned House, 34 South Street until c. 1970. In 1981, the Schneider family were the owners.
