5-11 Clarke Street - Physical Description 1
Numbers 5-11 Clarke Street are single-fronted bi-chrome brick cottages. Dark brown and 'fancy whites' were used in the walls, with an ornament pressed above the verandah. Each has a balustraded parapet with a central scrolled pediment and dentillated cornice. Garlands or swags decorate the frieze below the cornice.
The cast-iron verandah friezes have been reconstructed on Nos 5, 7 and 11 Clarke Street, with the intact iron on No 9 providing the pattern for reconstruction. The original front fences were probably pickets but all have been replaced at various periods, their diversity disrupting the original visual uniformity of the row.
