Statement of Significance
Although altered, these row houses are part of a precinct which is characterised by narrow building lots and single-fronted cottages. They are also a product of speculation by one of the city's oldest industrial families (Lawrence) and mark the onset of a new type of marketing by the Victorian Railways to enhance sales on their estates.

16-20 Candy Street - Physical Description 1
Characteristic of the period, these single-fronted timber cottages have half-timbered gables with kingpost trusses which have been set over roughcast rendered gable ends. Each house has a convex roofed, cast iron decorated verandah and bi-chrome brick party wall dividing each pair, as required by the building regulations. The front walls were clad with block-fronted timber boards. These latter aspects were typical of the late Victorian era, whilst the roof gables are characteristic of the Federation style.
Each row house has been altered in detail: the roughcast is missing from No 20 Candy Street, the gable truss from No 18, and the turned moulding to the end of the king-post on No 16. All of the original front and some of the dividing picket fences are gone. The cement urns to each party wall, however, have survived.
