17, Marine Crescent

No. 17 Marine Crescent is a house that is part of a terraced row, built around 1826 to 1830 and has been altered. It features painted stucco and a slate roof with rendered chimneys on both sides. The house has a double-depth, double-fronted layout with a back extension and stands two storeys tall with three symmetrical windows. A moulded gutter cornice runs along the top.

The property includes a three-bay verandah supported by unusually wide cast-iron standards with enriched geometrical open-work and capitals featuring Ionic volutes. The verandah has a simple moulded gutter cornice, and its roof is mostly covered with felt.

On the ground floor, there is a square-headed doorway with a moulded architrave, a panelled door, and a plain overlight, flanked by large canted bay windows that have four-pane sashed glazing. The first-floor windows are sashed without glazing bars and each has a small set-in fretted canopy.

The interior has not been inspected. The house is adjacent to No. 16 on the right and No. 18 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.
