Terrace Houses: 83-87 Mitchell Street, Glebe. Sydney, New South Wales

Pictured are a row of three double storey terraces typical of many inner city houses in Sydney. This row appears to have been built before the new planning controls sometime in the 1860s and features a gable roof with plain window ledges with double hung windows and a single storey verandah with striped corrugated iron roof with a small step down to the third terrace and chimneys in between.  The individual houses are defined by their doorways and the rainwater downpipes which descend their facades.

This row is part of the Glebe Estate, a precinct heritage registered for its extensive stands of terraces like these.
