Description
8, 9, 10 Warrender Park Terrace is a five-storey and basement tenement building, likely designed by Edward Calvert around 1880. It features a mansard attic and is characterized by its baronial details, forming part of a larger terrace. The building is constructed from squared and snecked pink sandstone, accented with contrasting polished ashlar dressings. Notable architectural elements include string courses at the first and fourth floors, a corbel table above the third floor that steps down to the second floor, and gabled outer bays with stop-chamfered reveals.
The entrance elevation showcases roll-moulded segmental-arched doorways in the second and fourth bays, which are flanked by recessed polished granite colonnettes with foliate capitals. These doorways lead to deep-set panelled doors topped with plate glass fanlights. Above the second bay, there is a single window, while the fourth floor features a crow-stepped dormer head. The doorway in the fourth bay is accompanied to the left by a simpler roll-moulded doorway with a panelled door and plate glass fanlight, with bipartite windows above. The third bay contains bipartite windows, and there is a hoodmoulding at ground level, along with a pedimented dormer head above a single window on the fourth floor. The outer left and right bays have full-height canted windows that are corbelled to square at the fourth floor, and there is a tripartite window at the fourth floor with single lights to the returns. The building features dividing cornices above the ground and first floors, tripartite dividing string courses above the second floor, and decorative banding in the gableheads. The windows are plate glass sash and case. The roof is covered with grey slate and includes a coped wallhead stack to the north with an inset foliate patera, partly rendered, as well as coped mutual stacks, stone finials, and bracketed skewputts.
The property also has decorative cast-iron railings leading to the basement and steps up to the entrances. The interiors were not seen in 1991.
