36 Mercer Street, Queenscliff - Physical Description 1
38 Mercer Street is a high-gabled stuccoed brick building with a skillion on the rear. Like its neighbours either side, it is set on the building line and presents a bland cottage facade to the street. Externally the building is in original condition with its six pane sashes and four-panel door and comparison may be drawn with 26 Learmonth Street (part of a group 34-40 Mercer Street).

36 Mercer Street, Queenscliff - Physical Description 2
Extract from the 2009 study
No. 36 Mercer Street is a substantially externally intact, simply detailed, modest single-storey masonry building with parapetted gabled ends, and a corrugated steel-clad hipped roof with transverse gable. The walls are rendered, with evidence of ashlar ruling. The four-panel entrance door (and later screen door) is asymmetrically placed in the facade, flanked by multi-paned (six over six) timber sash windows, also fitted with modern fly screens. A small glazed fanlight is positioned above the door. A rendered brick chimney punctuates the ridge to the north. A weatherboard skillion extension is attached to the rear of the property. The dwelling has no setback to the street.
