TERRACE HOUSES (INVERURIE & KEITHALL) - Physical Description 1
This pair of terraced, double-storey dwellings is located on the western side of Lygon Street and set back from the street frontage behind a small garden and iron palisade fence with a rough bluestone plinth and bricked pillars with rendered caps and a stringcourse.
The houses have Victorian Italianate terrace form and detailing but with red brick construction, which suggests a c.1890-1900 build date. Each dwelling has a balustraded parapet with an urn finial over a pedestal at each end and a triangular pediment inscribed with the name of each house (No. 31- 'Inverurie', No. 33 - 'Keithhall'). A dentillated cornice sits below the parapet. The two level cast-iron verandahs have cast iron posts with Corinthian capitals and iron frieze and brackets with dentil detailing to the verandah fascia and beam of no.31 and are enclosed by side walls with rendered scroll brackets to each level. The side walls extend to form an ogee profile wing walls that connect to the fence piers. There is tessellated tiling the verandah floors and front paths.
Walls are of face red brick with likely bi-chromatic (now painted) detailing over the windows and to courses along the facade. At ground level, each has a tripartite window with twisted columns with four panelled timber doors with leadlight to the highlight windows, and at first floor there are timber framed French windows.
