ARCHITECTURE
Late Victorian / Federation, Domestic Carpenter w Georgian Influences
No. 34 (previously was no. 74) King Street is a single storey cottage constructed in timber framing and weatherboard cladding with a 'M' format corrugated iron roof. It is a simple expression of the Federation Bungalow style. The front elevation is symmetrically planned with a central door and hopper light flanked by sidelights and single pane double hung sash windows. The façade features a full width bullnosed verandah supported on timber posts.
The place is consistent with the pattern of development in Plympton and plays an important role in the pattern of development of a working class suburb.
