Statement of Significance
Although of no individual architectural or historical significance, 44 Urquhart Street contributes to the heritage character ofthe streetscape. The house is a substantially intact nineteenth century two-storey terrace amongst predominantly single-storey housing of similar vintage. The terrace is an important element in the vista from the north in Ross Street, and, similarly, can be readily seen from other vantage points looking into the Westgarth basin.

44 Urquhart Street - Physical Description 1
44 Urquhart Street is a two-storey rendered brick terrace with a two-storey cast-iron verandah. The four-panelled entrance door has sidelights and a highlight. The ground floor window is a tripartite double-hung sash whilst the first floor windows are standard double-hung sashes. The wing walls are decorated with vermiculated panels and consoles. The facade is terminated by a moulded cornice surmounted by a segmented arched plain pediment flanked by scrolls.
The original, probably cast-iron picket fence has been replaced with a recent aluminium interpretation. In the front garden two palm trees once added an exotic touch, removed in the 1980s.
The side wall brickwork has been painted
