Nos 52-118 Including Walls And Railings

This is a terrace of houses built around 1850 to 1860, with later alterations. The houses are constructed with stucco over brick, and the roofs are hidden behind parapets. The terrace is situated on a hillside. The houses are mixed, with three and four storeys over a basement. Most have a two-window bow frontage, featuring square-headed sash windows with various glazing bar patterns, although some windows have blind boxes. A moulded parapet and cornice run along the top of the building. The ground floor is rusticated, and the first-floor windows have cast-iron balustrades. Pilaster porches are present, and there is a variety of doors.

The central four houses, numbers 86 to 92, have particularly ornate facades. These houses feature cast-iron window box guards on the second floor, and a continuous dentil-moulded entablature on the first floor, supporting segmental-headed pediments with shell decoration in the triangular spaces above. The window openings have decorative surrounds, blind boxes are present, and the ground floor has panels of vermiculated rustication beneath the window sills, supported by shaped brackets with cast-iron window box guards. The doorcases have acanthus-leaf capitals to the fluted shafts, and half-glazed doors. The entrance to number 52 is from Western Road. A single-storey extension to the ground floor is distinguished by a screen of Tuscan pilasters with an entablature. It includes a Tuscan porch with a round-arched opening leading to a panelled door, and a fourth bay that now has a window. Sash windows without glazing bars are also present. Cast-iron railings and walls extend from the entrances to the street frontage, with ball finials to the piers at numbers 90 and 92. It is believed that this terrace was built before the one opposite, numbers 59 to 127 Lansdowne Place.
