Lorne Terrace: 83-87 Mitchell Street, Glebe

Lorne Terrace was built in 1875 by William Jarrett¹.  Notable for the use of the post-Regency Georgian style, a style fairly common in Glebe for the Industrial Building Society². Architecturally it features the distinctive simplistic gable roof form with plain window ledges with double hung six pane windows and a single storey verandah with a concave striped corrugated iron roof with a small step down every couple of houses with 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 Victorian terraces including post-Regency examples such as this.
