Statement of Significance
34 Walker Street is of local historical significance. For a long period of time the building belonged to one of Northcote's prominent personalities, William Henly Dennis who was elected councillor and later Mayor. Architecturally the building is of little individual significance, although the various stages of the house that reflect the subsequent additions are of interest.

House - Physical Description 1
34 Walker Street is a single-storey building which consists of a number of stages of construction. The first section appears to be of rubble bluestone construction with a hipped roof Added to this c1895 is the face-brick section fronting the street, which has a concave-roofed cast-iron verandah with cast iron posts, friezes and balcony panels. The tripartite double-hung sash windows have quoining in cream brick, now painted white, contrasting against the brown brick walls. The side walls are of common bond red brickwork. The eaves have moulded brick brackets above a scotia moulded string course. A further gabled timber section exists at the rear of the stone wing, which may predate it.
Alterations include the replacement of the original roofing with cement tiles, replacement of the guttering, fascias and downpipe. An unsympathetic metal gate abuts the facade to the east.
