HOUSES - Physical Description 1
A terrace of three representative single storeyed late Victorian Boom Style dwellings with party walls extended to form verandah ends and side garden walls. No. 41 is separated from nos. 43-45 by a lane. The brickwork is bi-chromatic and the cast iron lace ornamentation survives at no. 45, the lacework to no. 41 being presumably recent. Verandahs are convex, with the exception of the skillion to no. 41 which has been rebuilt. The parapets have been part demolished but no. 45 alone retains its balustrade and urns and consoles to the central curved pediment with shell end that survives on all three parapets.
Condition: Sound. Integrity: Medium, parapets defaced, verandahs to nos. 41 and 43 altered, no.41 extended at rear.
* 41 concrete flooring - see photo for additions at rear
