Kelvin Grove Precinct - Physical Description 1
The Kelvin Grove comprises a group of Edwardian (Queen Anne) houses several of which appear to reflect the work of the same builder or designer. No. 40 is a finally detailed detached house with large bay and elaborate timber verandah while to the north is a series of paired houses. Nos. 34, 32, 30, 28, 26 and 24, represent variations on a theme. Each has a high steeply pitched roof (two retain ridge tiles) and each has a firewall dividing the roof. The timber work on the verandahs is typical of the period and finely detailed. Further north there are detached houses. The streetscape has been modified by replacement of the kerb and guttering in footpaths in concrete and may have been widened. The street trees are diverse and include Lilly Pilly, White Cedar, Ash, none of which make a major contribution to the area largely because of their inconsistency in size and form.
