Numbers 1 To 6 And Attached Railings

Numbers 1 to 6 and attached railings are a group of terraced houses dating from circa 1855. They are constructed of stucco, with the roof obscured by a blocking course.

The houses are four storeys high, with a half basement. Each unit originally conformed to a common design, with three windows per front. The elevation is treated as a full-height, nearly full-width segmental bay, featuring a flat-arched entrance with an overlight framed by a Tuscan aedicule to the right party wall. To the left of the bay are two windows. All windows are flat-arched, with projecting sills. An entablature band with a projecting cornice sits below the blocking course. Numbers 2, 3, and 6 have banded rustication to the ground floor. Full-height windows on the first floor open onto a balcony enclosed by cast-iron railings, supported by cast-iron brackets. The first- and second-floor windows of Numbers 2, 3, and 6 have architraves; the first-floor window of Number 2 has a floating cornice, and the first-floor windows of Numbers 3 and 6 each have an entablature with a cornice supported by a pair of console brackets. The third-floor windows of Number 2 also have architraves. Number 1 has an extra window range to the right of the bay, housing a flat-arched entrance with sidelights to the door and an overlight, framed by a Tuscan aedicule, similar to but wider than those on Numbers 2, 3, and 6. The centre window in the bay at the third floor is blocked, and there is a storey band between the second and third floors. All houses have two-over-two sash windows of original design to the second and third floors. Stacks are located to the party walls.

The interior has not been inspected. Railings are present to the stairs and areas of all but Numbers 4 and 5. The terrace has undergone substantial alterations, particularly to Numbers 4 and 5, making it difficult to find a unit retaining all its original features. The street was originally called Lyall Place.
