House, 340 South Terrace, is a typical limestone, brick and iron single storey house dating from c 1896. The place has aesthetic value for its contribution to the streetscape and the surrounding area. It is representative of the typical workers' houses in the Fremantle area. The place is an example of the Victorian Georgian style of architecture.
340 South Terrace is a single storey, limestone, brick and iron house with a symmetrical facade built in 1896 and designed as an example of the Victorian Georgian style of architecture. The walls are limestone with red brick quoins. The roof is hipped and clad with corrugated iron. The façade is symmetrical with a central front door with fanlight and casement windows. The verandah has a separate corrugated iron roof supported on turned timber posts. There is a timber picket fence to the front boundary line.
House, 340 South Terrace was built in 1896 for James Back, who had owned the land for some years. James and William Back continued to own the property (sometimes listed in the rate book as joint owners; other times only one name is used) and they leased the cottage to a succession of tenants during this time. In 1896, the cottage was described as comprising four rooms; it had five rooms in 1898. By 1930, House, 340 South Terrace was owned by Laura Webb and occupied by David Clark. By 1950, Sarah Clark was the owner and occupant. She was still living there in 1964 when she was described in the rate book as an ‘old age pensioner’. A Metropolitan Sewerage plan dated 1954 shows a brick house with a full length front verandah and a rear verandah that was enclosed at one end to form a bathroom. There was an attached galvanised iron outbuilding, as well as detached weatherboard and galvanised iron outbuildings and a toilet in the backyard. In the early 1960s, Sarah Clark sold her house to M P Ivandich and over the course of a few years, the property changed hands several times, before being bought by Stefan Zarev c. 1970. Luigi Bertoncini took over the house at about the same time. Some time after the house next door at No. 342 was demolished and a factory built in its place c. 1972, House, 340 South Terrace became an office building. In 1984 it was the office associated with the electrical engineering firm at No. 342.

Condition assessed as good (assessed from streetscape survey only).
