Description

Numbers 24 and 26 are two terraced houses built around 1835 to 1845. They are constructed from yellow stock brick with channelled stucco on the ground floors. The houses are three storeys tall and have a basement, with two windows on each floor. The entrances are segmental-arched and feature panelled doors with fanlights above. The recessed sash windows have gauged brick flat arches, and the first floor includes cast-iron balconies. At the top, there is a parapet with a stucco cornice. The attached cast-iron railings in front of the houses have tasselled spearhead finials. The interiors have not been inspected.
