Numbers 1 And 2 And 3 And Attached Railings And Walls And Gate Piers

Numbers 1, 2, and 3 Richmond Terrace are terraced houses built around 1825, likely designed by Amon Wilds and Charles Augustine Busby. They feature a combination of stucco and yellow brick set in Flemish bond, with a roof obscured by a parapet.

The exterior consists of three storeys over a basement. Number 1 has seven windows and is double-fronted, while Numbers 2 and 3 each have four windows. The ground floor is rusticated, with steps leading up to a flat-arched entrance framed by pilasters adorned with incised ornament and an entablature. The entrance to Number 3 retains a dentil cornice. The doorcase includes sidelights and an overlight, with Number 1 featuring a panelled door of original design, while the doors to Numbers 2 and 3 are now partly glazed. Numbers 2 and 3 also have additional rusticated lintels with keystones within the porch.

The houses have full-height segmental bays, with two bays for Number 1 and one each for Numbers 2 and 3. All windows are flat-arched, with those on the first and second floors featuring stucco architraves. The first-floor windows have cornices, and Number 1 has a broad central window on the first floor that is set forward, with a similar window on the second floor that is set back. The ground-floor windows and sidelights of Number 1 are decorated with late 19th or early 20th-century engraved glass for the Phoenix Brewery, featuring Egyptian decoration and phoenixes. A moulded stucco cornice and parapet complete the design.

The interior has not been inspected. The balustrade is supported on segmental arches at the ground floor windows and continues to the steps. There are low garden walls along the street, between round-topped piers with decorative rings. The cast-iron railings, which feature scrolled brackets and spearhead finials, were originally present at the steps and walls but are now missing from the steps and the walls of Number 1.
