Early Federation Gabled Domestic Carpenter No 52 East Street is a single storey house constructed in timber framing and weatherboard cladding with a gabled decramastic roof. It is a simple expression of the Federation Bungalow style. The front elevation is asymmetrically planned with a door to the south side and a window to the north. The facade features a full width skillion roofed verandah supported on Tuscan columns set over concrete piers and a masonry balustrade. There are additions to the rear. 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.
Plympton is a cohesive precinct where most of the places were constructed in the late nineteenth century and the first quarter of the twentieth century. It is comprised primarily of homes for workers and their families with a high concentration of small lots with timber, brick and stone cottages.
