house

Terraced three-bay three-storey house over basement, built c. 1825, with attic accommodation and return to rear (north) elevation. Pitched roof having dormer windows to front pitch, concealed behind rendered parapet with cut granite coping. Brown brick chimneystacks. Some cast-iron rainwater goods. Rendered wall to front (south) elevation, channelled to ground floor. Brown brick, laid in English garden bond, to rear. Square-headed window openings, having cut granite sills, four-over-four pane and six-over-six pane timber sliding sash windows. Round-headed door opening with moulded render surround, doorcase comprising Ionic columns and entablature, plain fanlight, timber panelled door. Replacement railings on masonry plinth wall enclosing yard to front.

This house retains much of its early form and character, enhanced by the well-proportioned openings and handsome Regency style doorcase, popular in the early nineteenth century. The front boundary lines remain intact, maintaining the early suburban character of the streetscape. It shares characteristics with the adjoining houses, resulting in a coherent streetscape. This terrace of three houses is one of the earliest on Harrington Street, where residential development did not start in earnest until the mid-nineteenth century.
