MORELAND TERRACE - Physical Description 1
241-253 Moreland Road is a row of seven two-storey attached brick residences, Italianate in style. Each is of rendered brickwork with a concave-profile roof to a timber first-floor balcony, divided into three bays by timber posts with cast iron capitals, with cast iron lacework infill as balustrading and friezes. Roofs are concealed behind an ornate balustraded partly rendered brick parapet with rendered moulded string course and central semi-circular pediment and decorative urns. Paired brick corbels with rendered dressing trim the wing walls of each terrace at roof and balcony level. Windows are arched with rendered bluestone sills, moulded dressings, and a moulded frieze at impost level. Windows are of timber sash type, and No. 245 retains the etched glass arched highlight above the front door.
In terms of intactness, the only intact element remaining unpainted is the parapet to No. 245. The most intact verandahs are on Nos. 247, 249 and 251. No. 245 retains the original verandah tiling. The verandah on No. 247 has been completely altered, with the balcony once having been enclosed, and all lacework having been removed. Overall, No. 243 is the most intact, colour scheme and missing parapet urns notwithstanding.
