15, Marine Terrace

No. 15 Marine Terrace is a house with an attached verandah, part of a row known as Marine Terrace, facing the east end of that row but structurally connected to the north end of a row on Bath Street. It was likely built around 1840 and has been altered. The exterior features painted stucco with sandstone dressings and a slate roof, with a roughly square plan.

The building is two storeys high with an attic and has a gabled four-window facade facing the street. The ground floor displays channelled rustication, a first-floor sill-band, and a flat apex on the gable. There is a wide square-headed doorway offset to the right of centre, featuring a set-in doorcase, a door with round-headed panels, side-windows, and a shallow overlight. To the left, there is a canted bay window with altered glazing and a prominent cornice with a blocking course. To the right, there is a four-pane sashed window with a moulded and keyed architrave.

On the first floor, there are four similar four-pane sashes with matching architraves, and above these is an oeil-de-boeuf window with a keyed surround. The right-hand return, which is the garden front, has a two-window arrangement that includes a two-storey canted bay window to the right, also with altered glazing. The ground floor is protected by an elaborate cast-iron verandah consisting of two wide bays, with standards made of slim paired columns linked by tracery and large open-work brackets that form shallow arches.

The interior has not been inspected. All the listed buildings in Marine Terrace, along with those in Adelaide Terrace, Bath Street, Beach Lawn, and Marine Crescent, form a group within the Waterloo Conservation Area of Crosby.
