Building - Physical Description 1
Distinctively planned and detailed, this row house pair is highly representative of Bendigo architecture in that period, but is not so of the rest of the State. Built in two brick colours (red body brick, cream trim), the use of terra-cotta ornament extends across much of the building with an herringbone pattern set as panels in the eaves entablature and chimneys with corbelled tops, as either a single or combined shaft. However, it is the angled roof gable orientation which is unusual; set as it is on a standard hipped main roof with ornamental panelled friezes, set above the main ric-rac frieze at the corners, the convex profile verandah reflects this angled orientation in a distinctive manner. The same angled configuration was used by William Beebe in a 1890s renovation at 152-4 Barnard Street (q.v.).
Originally, small side verandahs separated the protruding front gabled bay from a rear room on each house.
Circular windows were also used in the side elevation.
Building - Integrity
External - The front fence (picket) has been replaced in an unrelated manner and side verandahs filled in. New (large) windows have been added to 101, but this could be restored using 103 as a guide.
Building - Physical Description 2
Landscape - The garden has been considerably altered with a recent driveway along the side of the house. The extant garden consists of a number of smaller shrubs which are sympathetic but unlikely to be part of the original planting. The garden is of contributory significance.
