No. 1-17, With Kerbs To Front And Attached Fences

This is a terrace of seventeen houses built between 1974 and 1976 by Ralph Erskine’s Arkitektkontor, with Vernon Gracie as site architect, White, Young and Partners as structural engineers, and Shepherd Construction Limited as the main contractor. The houses are constructed of pale brick and uneven green weatherboarding on timber frames, with some brown weatherboarding, all under shallow, double-pitched metal roofs with plywood box beam purlins and projecting eaves to the garden elevations. The houses are two storeys high, with a carriageway beneath number 10, which has a raised attic over that section. Numbers 2, 3, 5 and 16 are weatherboarded in brown, with all save number 5 weatherboarded over the first floor only. Numbers 4, 7, 13, 15 and 17 have full-height green weatherboarding. The front elevations have red metal door hoods, and some doors with glazed panels, coloured red and blue, with others renewed in hardwood. The windows are timber framed with aluminium opening lights, mainly sliding, with those at numbers 3, 6, and 10 having been renewed. The interiors have not been inspected. Granite kerbs from previous streets line the front of the properties, and brown fences are set between the houses and to the rear. This terrace, along with Winship Terrace, lines the main thoroughfare through Grace Lee. The history and sources for this terrace are shared with numbers 1-75 Dunn Terrace.
