Description

Numbers 23 to 26 Burlington Street comprise a terrace of houses built in the early 19th century, with Number 23 dating around 1825. It is believed that Numbers 23 to 26 were designed by Amon Wilds and Charles Augustin Busby. The houses are constructed of stucco, with slate roofs.

The houses are three storeys high with dormers and a basement. Numbers 23 to 25 each have a single window, while Number 26 has two. Each house has a round-arched entrance with a fanlight; the entrances to Numbers 23 and 24 have architraves interrupted by impost blocks and a keystone, while those to Numbers 25 and 26 have rusticated voussoirs. A canted bay window extends the full height of Numbers 24 and 25, and almost the full height of Numbers 23 and 26; the top two storeys of the bay to Number 23 have a segmental curve. All bay windows are tripartite, with those to Numbers 24 and 25 featuring projecting sills supported on console brackets. All windows and dormers are flat-arched. A moulded cornice band is located between the ground and first floors of Numbers 24 and 25. Pilaster strips rise from the first through the second floors along the party walls of Numbers 23 and 24, with each capital decorated with a bull's eye motif. Tuscan order pilaster strips rise similarly along the party walls of Numbers 25 and 26. Stacks are situated on the party walls between the properties.

The interior was not inspected during the listing process.

Original railings are present to the stairs and area. A plaque near the entrance of Number 25 commemorates the comedian Max Miller, who lived in the house from 1948 until his death in 1963.

Number 23 was initially listed on August 20, 1971.
