Terraced house. Mid C19. Stucco. Roof obscured by parapet; concave verandah roof of metal. EXTERIOR: 4 storeys over basement. 2-window range, 5-window range to return. Italianate style. All openings are flat arched. Rusticated basement. Entrance with overlight framed by Tuscan pilasters and entablature. Tuscan pilasters, responds and entablature flanking all upper floor windows. To the right of the entrance a full-height canted bay with tripartite windows. The centre bay window on the ground floor is segmental in plan. Verandah to first floor with cast-iron brackets and colonnettes. Many features from the main elevation to be found on the return. Near the corner, rising out of the rusticated ground floor, is a full-height segmental bay. Its base narrows to a corbel block on which is impressed a face of an old man, bearded and wearing a crown. The triple windows in this bay are flat-arched, framed by Tuscan pilasters and entablature at each floor. On the first floor, to the left of this bay, is a flat-arched window with a shouldered architrave and a segmental pediment supported by console brackets. This arrangement is repeated in the window above, with a triangular pediment substituted for a segmental one. The next window above has an eared and shouldered architrave only. The storey band between the ground and first floors is moulded as a cornice, those between the first and second, and second and third floors are plain. Originally the return was articulated as 2 blocks. A C20 addition has blurred this arrangement. The remaining 3 bays were originally a lower block of 3 storeys, with 3 bays of closely spaced, flat-arched windows with architraves on the first and second floors. The central window of this arrangement has a segmental pediment on console brackets, the outer windows have triangular pediments. The architraves of the windows above have both shoulders and ears. A projecting cornice marks the extent of the old structure. INTERIOR: not inspected. Railings to entrance stairs and area.
