MORELAND HOUSE - Physical Description 1
Moreland Terrace is a row of nine two-storey attached brick residences, Italianate in style. Each originally had a facade of brown and cream brickwork with red brick side and rear walls. Each has a concave-profile roof to a timber first-floor balcony, divided into three bays by timber posts with cast iron capitals, with cast iron lacework infill as balustrading and friezes. Roofs are concealed behind an ornate balustraded and partly rendered brick parapet with rendered moulded string course and central semi-circular pediment and decorative urns. Paired brick corbels with rendered dressing trim the wing walls of each terrace at roof and balcony level. Windows are arched, with timber-framed double-hung sashes. The party walls have false arches edged with cream bricks with red brick infill.
Intactness varies across the residences. Substantially intact verandahs remain on Nos. 224, 226, 230, 232, 234 and 238. No. 224 has a tiled verandah roof. The larger central pediment on No. 230 has been removed, but the name 'Moreland Terrace' remains visible in raised lettering. The other parapets remain largely intact, although the urns which once sat at the corners have all been removed. . All the original iron picket front fences appear to remain. A variety of colour schemes has been used on the terrace; No. 232 has been rendered and No. 228 painted.
