1-31, Howard Street

This is a circa 1850 terrace of twenty-one sandstone houses, numbered 1 to 31, located on the south side of Howard Street. The buildings are two storeys in height and have slate roofs with corniced chimneys. A stone eaves cornice runs along the roofline, with Nos 21 and 23 featuring deeper shaped brackets to the eaves. The windows are plain revealed sash windows. The doorways of Nos 1 to 19 are paired or single and have architrave surrounds and cornices supported by consoles, with intervening archivolt arched passage entries. Nos 21 and 23 have round-arched architrave cases set within rusticated surrounds and cornices. Nos 25 to 31 have pilastered doorways. The terrace is of group value as an unaltered example of early-mid 19th century town houses, representing the beginning of the mid-century building boom.
