34, Belvedere

The property at 34 Belvedere is a house, later adapted for use as a shop and flats. It was likely built around 1754. A shop front was added around 1855, designed by JS Frampton. The front of the building is faced with limestone ashlar, with rubble on the left side and the rear is ashlar. The roof is parapeted and covered with double Roman tiles to the front, sides and rear; it's hipped at the rear of the long range. There is one ashlar chimney stack without pots on the front right, and a larger stack rising from the wall on the left.

The building is three storeys and has a basement, with a three-window front. The first floor has three six-pane sash windows with arched surrounds, stone sills, wrought iron balconettes and floating cornices above. The second floor has similar windows with stone sills. The ground floor features a two-light shop window with a timber surround, pilasters, a frieze and bracketed cornice, and to the left, an eight-panel door with reeded and fielded panels, voided corners, and a single-pane overlight. The basement has a window to the right with glass blocks in the pavement. A band course is above the ground floor, and a modillion eaves cornice and coped parapet run continuously with the adjacent property at No. 35 Belvedere. A large stone sphinx sits on the plinth at the left end of the parapet. A lead hopperhead at the eaves on the right feeds into a downpipe that connects to No. 35 Belvedere. The rear has a full-height canted bay with six-pane sashes on the first floor, plate glass to the second floor, and six-pane and plate glass sashes on the right side. Lead hopperheads and downpipes are present on the rear and right side. The interior has not been inspected. Originally part of a larger house that included numbers 35 and 36, this building likely preserves the service rooms and secondary staircase of the original.
