ARCHITECTURE
No 36 Bedford Street is a single storey house constructed in timber frame and weatherboard cladding with a hipped and gable corrugated iron roof. It is a fine expression of the Federation Bungalow style. The front elevation is symmetrically planned with a central door and hopper light and flanked by side lights and windows. The windows are double hung sash windows flanked by side lights. The facade features a full width skillion roofed verandah set on timber posts. A set of concrete stairs go from the verandah to the street level. The roofscape features a render capped chimney.
