3 And 4, The Villas

3 and 4 The Villas are a pair of houses built between 1851 and 1855 by Charles Lynam. They are designed in the Italianate style, featuring stucco over brick and a concrete tiled roof. The houses are two stories tall and consist of four bays, with the outer gables advanced and projecting porches and bay windows added slightly later to the central range. The round-arched sash windows are grouped as mullions. No. 3 has a hipped roofed porch with a canted bay window alongside, while No. 4 features a gabled porch with a lean-to bay window that has Palladian style lights. There is a tower at the rear and a wood modillion cornice along the overhanging eaves, along with an axial stack. These houses were part of a planned development of middle-class housing that originally included 24 houses.
