House, 253 South Terrace, is a typical rendered masonry and iron single storey house dating from c 1899.

253 South Terrace is a single storey, single room width, brick and iron house with asymmetrical facade designed as an example of the Federation Bungalow style of architecture.

House, 253 South Terrace was in 1899 for Arthur Shaw, a bricklayer. Shaw owned the place until 1911/12, when it was bought by Thomas Fowler. In 1918, David Mitchenson bought the house; Albert Barton in 1932/33 and Maria Anastas in 1950/51. A Metropolitan Sewerage plan dated 1955 shows a narrow brick building built against the western boundary with a bay window to the south and a very small verandah. At the rear, there was a verandah and weatherboard addition. The house shared three lots with the Wesleyan Hall and Church (255-257 South Terrace). In 1979, House, 253 South Terrace was owned by the Panegryres family. Various tenants have lived in the house over the years.
