Description
This is an early 19th century block of five cottages, built in stucco and characterized by a square plan. Constructed likely by the firm of Fox, possibly for their employees, the cottages are each two stories high. They feature five windows to the front of each cottage, with casement windows set within segmental, pointed, and semi-circular arches. Gothic style doorways are present, and the pilasters have a rustic finish. Nos. 1 to 5 form a cohesive group.
