Description

Numbers 87 and 93, and the attached railings to the left return of number 93, form a terrace of four houses, built around 1820 to 1834. Some of the properties are now flats. The construction is of ashlar on brick to the right, with stucco to the left, and have slate roofs. Brick and stucco chimney stacks are present, along with an iron porch to number 87 and a balcony divider between numbers 89 and 91.

The terrace is three storeys high with a basement, and has twelve first-floor windows (three per house) with a single-storey, setback entrance bay on the left. The windows are arranged in a 1:4:2:4:1 pattern, with the ends and centre set back slightly. Bands mark the first and second floors, and a crowning entablature tops the building. The ground and first floors have mainly 6/6 and 2/2 sashes; the second floor has 3/3 and 6/6 sashes; and the basement windows are 8/8 sashes. All windows are in plain reveals with sills. There are paired entrances at the centre and ends, leading to 6-fielded-panel doors, some of which are part-glazed; two doors in the centre have batwing and circle glazing bars, and the left-hand door is located within a recessed porch with Doric pilasters, a frieze, cornice, and blocking course. The doors in the centre are in a shared Doric porch with three pairs of columns and a plain entablature with a blocking course. The rear of the terrace retains several 6/6 and 3/3 sashes, and number 91 has a full-height range to the rear. The front facade of number 91 features a prominent inscription commemorating Edward Adrian Wilson, the Antarctic explorer who was born there in 1872 and died with Scott in 1912.

The interior retains original joinery, including panelled shutters. The porch has lozenge and scroll motifs and a frieze. The balcony divider has a central scrolled circle. The area railings to the left return have bobbin heads and dog-bars. Number 91 was the birthplace of Edward Wilson, Antarctic explorer, whose statue is located on the Promenade.
