Statement of Significance
66-68 Pakington Street, Kew, is of local historical and architectural significance as a good and externally relatively intact example of a semi-detached pair of modest late Victorian brick cottages. The pair is distinguished from most conventional examples by the combination of stepped facade, single roof form and continuous verandah and facade treatment.

Terrace Houses - Physical Description 1
66-68 Pakington Street, Kew, comprises a pair of single-storey semi-detached Victorian Italianate cottages of brick construction and mirror image in design. The pair shares an integrated hipped roofscape with bracketed eaves and polychrome brick chimneys and moulded caps; each half has been separately re-roofed in corrugated galvanised steel. A return cast iron verandah is continuous across the full width of both properties and the convex corrugated galvanised steel roof is supported by Corinthian columns embellished with frieze and brackets. The verandah sections meet above an original dividing wing wall which extends from the front elevation to the boundary. The original verandah floors have been replaced with concrete. The breakfronted facades are in tuckpointed polychrome Hawthorn brickwork and comprise a single projecting bay with the main entrance set back, forming an overall U-shaped building footprint. The entrances retain original or early panelled timber doors with side and fanlights containing some coloured glass and the projecting bays contain a paired window arrangement with timber-framed double-hung sashes and bluestone sills.
Minor rear alterations were approved in 1984 for number 66 and in 2004 for number 68, neither of which impact on the street presentation of the pair.[i] Both frontages are fenced with relatively recent timber picket fences.
