12, Marine Crescent

No. 12 Marine Crescent is a house that is part of a terraced row, built around 1826-1830 and altered since then. It features painted stucco and a slate roof with pebble-dashed chimneys on the left. The house has a double-depth, single-fronted layout with a back extension and stands two storeys high with two windows. It has a moulded gutter cornice and a simple verandah with three unequal bays supported by cast-iron columns and a wooden open-work frieze that creates very shallow Tudor arches.

On the ground floor, there is a square-headed doorway on the right with a moulded architrave and a panelled door that has glazed top panels, along with a large canted bay window featuring 16-pane sashed glazing. The first floor has two small rectangular windows with 20th-century top-hung casements that imitate sashes. The interior has not been inspected. The house is adjacent to No. 11 on the right and No. 13 on the left. All the listed buildings in Marine Crescent, along with those in Adelaide Terrace, Bath Street, Beach Lawn, and Marine Terrace, form a group within the Waterloo Conservation Area of Crosby.
