Description

This is a terrace of houses built in 1880 on Fifth Avenue, Westminster. Designed by Austin and Roland Plumbe for the Queen's Park Estate, it was intended to provide housing for artisans, labourers, and other residents. The terrace is constructed of yellow brick in a Flemish bond, with decorative bands and detailing in irregular red brick. The roofs are covered in Welsh slate, with bands of fish-scale tiling to the tower roof.

The terrace consists of eleven houses, each two bays wide, with a two-bay projecting end block to the north featuring a pyramidal roof and a tower-like appearance. The design is in a Free Gothic style. Each house has a gabled porch on corbels, containing a pair of entrances with half-glazed doors and overlights, set beneath red gauged brick arches. A ceramic date plaque is located in the porch gable, and the building has painted coping. The windows are paired sashes with dividing colonettes, painted lintels, and some with margin lights. Sills are corbelled and have painted lintels. A moulded brick eaves course runs along the terrace.

The house at the south end has an entrance to the return wall and is treated as a tower, with paired sashes to both floors and a pyramidal roof topped with a finial. The terrace, together with numbers 67-81, 84-98, and 68-82, forms a visually cohesive group of terraces with tower features marking the ends, contributing to the character of the main street within the Queen’s Park Estate.
