Appraisal
Haroldville Avenue retains its early form and character. The bay windows provide variation to the facades and rhythm to the streetscape. The concrete lintels and brick cornice provide decorative interest to these otherwise simply detailed houses. The front garden boundaries remain largely intact, contributing to the early suburban character of the street. 442-458 South Circular Road, named Haroldville Terrace on historic maps, shares many characteristics.
