68-82, FIFTH AVENUE W10

This is a terrace of houses built in 1880 by Austin and Roland Plumbe for the Queen's Park Estate, designed to provide housing for artisans, labourers, and general residents. The terrace, numbered 68 to 82, is constructed from yellow brick laid in a Flemish bond pattern, with irregular red brick detailing. The roof is covered in Welsh slate with decorative fish-scale tiling to the tower area.

The terrace comprises two storeys, with each house featuring two bays, and a two-bay projecting end block to the south, topped with a pyramidal roof and forming a tower feature. The architectural style is Free Gothic. Each house has a gabled porch supported by corbels, containing a pair of entrances with half-glazed doors and overlights, all set beneath red brick arches. A ceramic date plaque is set into the gable of the porch, and there's painted brick coping. The windows are paired sashes, with colonettes separating them, and painted lintels. Some upper sashes include margin lights, with sills resting on corbels and painted lintels. A moulded brick eaves course runs along the top of the building, and there is corniced stack detailing. The southern end house has an entrance on its return wall and is prominently treated as part of the tower, featuring paired sashes on both floors and a pyramidal roof topped with a finial.

The terrace, alongside numbers 67-81, 83-97, and 84-98, creates a balanced group of terraces, with tower features at both ends and contributing to the main streetscape of the larger Queen's Park Estate.
