TERRACE HOUSES, SHOP & RESIDENCE - Physical Description 1
This row includes a corner shop & residence and four dwellings (No. 61 demolished). It includes a two-storey, rendered parapeted corner shop and residence, with attached four bichromatic (cream, red) Italianate style, single-storey, single-fronted row-houses, all with unusual double-storey rear wings.
The shop has a ruled coursed rendered facade with a deep cornice mould and frieze, painted face brick side wall, and a near intact timber shop-front. The house row has a continuous gable profile main roof, without exposed party walls, but the end house has massive stepped party walls. The two-storey rear wings have hipped roofs.
There are turned eaves-brackets, vermiculated corbels, scroll-brackets and a cast-iron verandah frieze. There are tripartite windows and fanlight in orange and cream bricks. The verandahs have encaustic geometric tiled floors and paths, with bluestone edging. Chimneys are unpainted render, classically moulded.
Some of the windows have been altered, the slate roof replaced with various materials and some of the facade brickwork painted over. The verandah frieze has been replaced on 69 Church Street.Heritage Study and Grading
