Description

Numbers 36-45 are a group of terraced houses dating to around 1820, likely designed by Amon Wilds. They are constructed of stucco and yellow brick, with a slate roof.

The houses are four storeys high, with a basement, and each has a single-window frontage. The ground floor is decorated with banded rustication, with brickwork above, painted on some properties; however, numbers 37 and 42 are stuccoed throughout. A round-arched entrance has a fanlight and a panelled door decorated with an interlaced rectilinear pattern. The ground-floor windows were originally round-arched but are mostly now flat-arched. Upper-floor windows are flat-arched, with gauged brick heads to the first and second floors. A continuous bracketed verandah extends across the first floor, supported by slim columns and featuring cast-iron railings with anthemion ornament and convex canopies, and segmental-arched braces. Stucco pilasters with palmette ornament to the capitals flank the second and third floors, with the second-floor windows set beneath a cornice on consoles. A cornice and blocking course tops the facades, the blocking course forming a simple pediment above numbers 39 and 40, the central houses. Chimney stacks are located within the party walls. Cast-iron area railings are present, featuring bud finials. Specific details vary between the properties: number 36 retains original sash windows on the second and third floors; number 41 has original sash windows on the second floor; number 42 has a decorative fanlight; and number 45 has original sash windows on the second and third floors. The interiors have not been inspected.
