HOUSES - Physical Description 1
The building at 1-3 Blyth Street is a pair of two storey attached brick houses, Italianate in style. Built on face bluestone plinths, the two double-fronted residences have projecting bays rising through both levels, each with three double-hung timber-framed arched windows with prominent keystones and an ornate moulded string course below impost level. The brick facades and chimneys are rendered; the chimneys retain their original unpainted finish. The balconies have cast iron posts (two of which have had the capitals removed) and decorative cast iron lacework to friezes and balustrades. Neither the frieze nor balustrade on the first floor of 3 is original. The hipped roofs, which have bracketed eaves, were once both slate, but the roof on 3 has been replaced with corrugated galvanised steel.
Both houses retain their cast iron palisade fences and gates; 3 is still occupied by medical rooms.
