Description

32-34 Henderson Row is a four-storey and basement corner block designed by William Burn between 1825 and 1826. It is similar in style to the adjacent building at number 28 on the opposite corner of Perth Street. The remainder of the structure is three storeys and a basement, featuring fluted Ionic column porches. The ground floor is channelled throughout, and there are later attics added to the building.
