NUMBERS 39-47, 49-56, 58 AND 59 AND ATTACHED RAILINGS

Numbers 39-47, 49-56, 58, and 59 on Compton Road are a row of terraced houses built between 1847 and 1853, now with number 59 converted to offices. The development was undertaken by George Frasi and James Beaumont. The buildings are constructed of brick and stucco, with slate roofs, and rise three storeys over a basement. Each house typically features two windows, although some have been combined into single units with a shared porch.

The terrace is nearly symmetrical, consisting of three groups with an attic storey and six windows each (numbers 39-41, 49-50, and 58-59, though number 59 lacks an attic), flanked by two groups of twelve windows each. The windows are flat-arched on all but the attic storeys, which have round-arched windows. The half-basement and ground floor are finished in stucco, with the ground floor displaying a banded design.

Prominent features include Greek Doric prostyle porches with panelled doors and fanlights, and cast-iron balustrades on the sides. The first-floor windows are adorned with cornices on consoles and full-length cast-iron balconies, while the second-floor windows have architraves. Each three-storey house is capped with a cornice and blocking course, separated by stops on consoles, and the attic storeys have a secondary cornice with a blocking course.

The windows of numbers 39-47 mainly feature margin lights, while those of numbers 49-50 are a mix of margin lights and three-by-two sashes. Numbers 51-58 predominantly have three-by-two sashes. Number 39 has a two-storey entrance wing that is set back, with the ground floor stuccoed and pilasters flanking the entrance. Number 59 is three storeys over a half-basement, with a two-bay extension that returns into St Paul's Road, featuring channelled stucco on the ground floor and half-basement, a single-storey side entrance flanked by pilasters, and simple architraves on the first and second floors, with a string course between them. The area in front is enclosed by cast-iron railings set between squat stuccoed piers, topped with fleur-de-lys finials.
