Ballarat Terrace - Physical Description 1
The building is a terrace of three two stories houses, eternally among the most intact in the state, unusual in the Ballarat contact and of interest because few architects drawings of terraces survive. The form is fairly standard but the verandah details are unusual for the period with a roof of Regency character, enclosed friezed and unusual balustrade panels to both floors. The main carcass is in red brick with cream, brick quoin wood dressings and banded flat arches. The ground floor level (both windows and doors). The front fences complete this extraordinary intact complex. This building in unique on a state-wide basis because of this unusual combination of intact elements.

Ballarat Terrace - Physical Description 2
Ballarat Terrace is a terrace of three two story houses which are externally amongst the most intact in the state unusual in the Ballart context, and of interest the architects are known an d the original drawings exits, The form is fairly standard with two columns dividing each veranda and balcony into three bays and with a horizontal timber member dividing the frieze from the valence fringe in hwat tends to be the earlier manner. The balustrade panels and frieze may be local products, but not of a distinctly Ballarat character. The wing walls are rendered, while the main carcass is in red brick quoin work dressings with banded flat arches at the openings.
The entrance door form with side lights and transom is, unusually, repeated without the transom at the balcony level, as is the three light window; so essentially the whole fenestration is repeated at the first floor level.
The hipped concave balcony roof of Regency character is unusual in comparison with Melbourne examples; also the wing wall does not break through as a parapet as was required in Melbourne.
The large size of the segmental pedimental name plate, originally intended to bear the name Victoria Terrace rather than Ballarat Terrace, is also distinctive.
The verandah balustrade at ground floor level, the dividing fence unusually' continuing palisade spears with iron loops, and the front double palisaded iron fence and open work iron piers complete .this exceptionally intact complex.
