Description

No. 20 Prospect Row is a house dated 1756, built in Flemish bond brick with a brick gable stack on the right and an interlocking tile roof. It is designed in the Mid Georgian style and has a double-depth plan. The building stands three storeys high with a basement and features a four-window range. The front has a parapet topped with a thin brick cornice, and the doorway, located left of centre, is flanked by attached fluted Doric columns, an entablature, and a pediment inscribed with "1756/R&P." The door itself has two raised panels and four glazed panels. The windows have rubbed brick segmental-arched heads and plate-glass sashes, with 6/6-pane sashes on the second floor and blind windows above the entrance.

Inside, there is an entrance stair hall with wainscotting, and a central lateral open dogleg stair featuring a column on vase balusters and fluted newels, along with a cornice and panelled shutters. The house has matching windows and continuous brickwork with No. 19, suggesting they were likely built at the same time. The parapet may have been altered. Prospect Row was started around 1705 and completed by 1756, forming part of a varied terrace of early to mid-Georgian houses.
