Terraced house. Mid C19. Stucco. Roof obscured by parapet;
concave verandah roof of metal.
EXTERIOR: 4 storeys over basement. 2-window range, 5-window
range to return. Italianate style. All openings are flat
arched. Rusticated basement. Entrance with overlight framed by
Tuscan pilasters and entablature. Tuscan pilasters, responds
and entablature flanking all upper floor windows. To the right
of the entrance a full-height canted bay with tripartite
windows. The centre bay window on the ground floor is
segmental in plan. Verandah to first floor with cast-iron
brackets and colonnettes. Many features from the main
elevation to be found on the return. Near the corner, rising
out of the rusticated ground floor, is a full-height segmental
bay. Its base narrows to a corbel block on which is impressed
a face of an old man, bearded and wearing a crown. The triple
windows in this bay are flat-arched, framed by Tuscan
pilasters and entablature at each floor. On the first floor,
to the left of this bay, is a flat-arched window with a
shouldered architrave and a segmental pediment supported by
console brackets. This arrangement is repeated in the window
above, with a triangular pediment substituted for a segmental
one. The next window above has an eared and shouldered
architrave only. The storey band between the ground and first
floors is moulded as a cornice, those between the first and
second, and second and third floors are plain. Originally the
return was articulated as 2 blocks. A C20 addition has blurred
this arrangement. The remaining 3 bays were originally a lower
block of 3 storeys, with 3 bays of closely spaced, flat-arched
windows with architraves on the first and second floors. The
central window of this arrangement has a segmental pediment on
console brackets, the outer windows have triangular pediments.
The architraves of the windows above have both shoulders and
ears. A projecting cornice marks the extent of the old
structure.
INTERIOR: not inspected.
Railings to entrance stairs and area.
