Appraisal
This terrace presents a cohesive elevation on the west side of Church Avenue South. The bay windows provide articulation to each house while creating a pleasing rhythm to the street. Much early fabric is retained in the group, seen particularly in survival of the timber sash windows with lead detailing and front doors. The front boundaries remain largely intact and contributes to the early suburban character of Church Avenue South.
