Description

29-33 Queen's Terrace is a terrace of three houses designed by Robert Paton around 1861. The buildings are single storey with a basement, and there are attics at the rear for Nos 19, 25, and 33. They are constructed from painted coursed sandstone. Nos 19-25, 31, and 33 feature a mutuled cornice, while Nos 27 and 29 have plain cornices. The window openings have painted margins, with cill blocks at the ground floor and moulded arises to the doorpieces.

The entrance elevation has a central stepped platform leading to the entrances, which have timber doors, with No 25 featuring glazed doors. The letterbox fanlights consist of three lights for Nos 19, 27, 29, and 31, while No 33 has boarded fanlights. There are single windows flanking the entrances at both the ground floor and basement levels.

On the south elevation facing Charlotte Street, there are two blind windows at the ground floor of the gable. The houses display a variety of glazing patterns, including 8-pane timber sash and case windows for Nos 19 and 27-33, plate glass for No 21, and modern glazing for Nos 23 and 25. The roof is covered with grey slate and features stone skews, rooflights, gablehead and ridge stacks, and circular and polygonal chimney cans, although No 33 does not have a can on its gablehead stack.

The interiors were not seen in 1998. The boundary walls and railings consist of ashlar copes topped with decorative railings, surrounding the basement area and the stepped platforms.
