Appraisal
This terrace presents a cohesive elevation on the east side of Church Avenue South. The bay windows and entrance canopies with supporting timber structures add character to the modest elevation. Early fabric is retained, including granite lintels and brick cornices which provide textural interest. The chamfered bricks and timber corbels to the entrance are further evidence of the careful design and skilled craftsmanship of the early twentieth century. The front boundaries remain largely intact and contribute to the early suburban character of Church Avenue South.
