A Metropolitan Sewerage plan dated c. 1915 shows a stone house in an ‘L’ shape, with the leg extending down Attfield Street. The house had a full length front verandah, a rear verandah in the crook of the L and a weatherboard addition to the north on Attfield Street. The house occupied half the width of the (current) lot and there were a well and small outbuildings located in the vacant half. Daniel Joslin continued to own the property until 1941/42, when it was sold to Louise Agnes. The Joslins had lived in the house from c. 1925.

By 1981, House, 54 South Street was owned by the De Florencas family.
