Description

Nos. 1-6 Brunswick Terrace is a terrace of six houses, built between 1824 and 1828, and altered in the mid-to-late 20th century to the attic storey. The architects were Amon Wilds and C.A. Busby. The houses are constructed of stucco over brick, with slate roofs. The plan forms a terrace of six units directly adjacent to a block of flats to the east. The houses are arranged over three storeys and a basement, with an additional storey in the central six bays. Most windows are sash windows, although some are French casement windows. There are full-height bow fronts to the penultimate three bays on the east and west sides, with other bays distinguished by the use of giant Ionic columns – pilasters frame the outer bays, while the centre features columns. There is a moulded entablature and a minimal pediment over the central two bays, and rusticated detailing to the ground floor, except for the central six bays. Segmental-headed openings appear in the attic windows in the centre and outer bays. A moulded cornice runs along the top of the building, with minimal pediments to the curved bays, featuring lugged window surrounds. The arched-head openings on the second floor have renewed wooden balustrades. A heavy moulded cornice is carried on trelliswork pilasters to the right, with a renewed cast-iron balustrade; renewed wooden pilasters and balustrade are on the left, and remnants of the original cast-iron balustrades survive in the seventh to tenth bays to the right. The ground floor’s central pair of entrances are flanked by plinths supporting the columns on the floor above, featuring incised decoration. Large segmental-headed window openings occupy two bays each, with similar plinths extending beyond. The three bays to the right have original disengaged Doric columns supporting an entablature. To the left of the centre, the building projects forward with late 19th-to-early 20th century glazed infilling in a classical style. The entrances are situated within the fourth bays from the ends, and the outer bays have arch-head windows. The original door, consisting of two sets of six panels, is to No. 1, and the others are late 19th–to-early 20th century half-glazed and panelled doors. Entrances are accessed by shallow flights of steps, some with tessellated pavements. The left return is of eight bays. Cast-iron railings extend from the entrances along the street frontage, with gates leading to the areas.
