86-92 Union Street, Pyrmont. Sydney, New South Wales
Shops: 86-92 Union Street, Pyrmont. Sydney, New South Wales
This row of four double storey shophouses in Sydney’s Pyrmont were originally terrace houses built in 1890 but they’ve suffered quite a lot in the conversion.
uThe ground floor has been completely altered to accomodate shopfronts and the iron lacework of the double storey verandah has been modernised with a wrought iron replacement. Although their Edwardian style chimney pots and rendered party walls remain along with french doors on the upper storey. The Marseille tile roof contrasts with the concave corrugated iron verandah roof.

Hortonbridge Terrace: 61-69 Victoria Street, Potts Point. Sydney, New South Wales
Hortonbridge Terrace: 61-69 Victoria Street, Potts Point. Sydney, New South Wales
This grand triple storey row of five houses erected in 1890 situated near Potts Point’s famous McElhone stairs is currently known as Waratah Apartments with a serviced apartments complex integrated behind the facades.
The state heritage listed terrace is notable for its rich classical styled embellishment. Victorian row houses such as this heralded Pott’s Point’s status as the ‘Regent’s Park of Sydney’.

328-344 Kings Way. South Melbourne, Victoria
Former Terrace Houses: 328-344 Kings Way. South Melbourne, Victoria.
This is one of my favourite Melbourne terraces and one of the only ones remaining along Kings Way.
While the landmark triple “boom style” storey terrace is within its own heritage overlay HO1771, unfortunately last month there was an application to demolish the terraces. They appear destined to be incorporated into a 14 storey apartment tower development.
The terraces have been used commercially for many years, the most recent being an Italian restaurant, using the top levels and balconies for functions and dining.

Drummond Terrace: 93-105 Drummond Street, Carlton. Melbourne, Victoria
Drummond Terrace. 93-105 Drummond Street. Carlton, Victoria
Drummond Terrace (built 1890-1891 to the design of Walter Scott Law) is the longest and largest three storey terrace row in Melbourne in one of Carlton’s most terraced wide streets. The row of seven triple storey terraces features long rendered loggia of round arches and balustrades, notably deviating from the popular filligree style of the period. A central free classical pediment and blind porthole marks the mid terrace, while interesting false chimney motifs mark the mid point of each individual terrace in the row.

Terrace Houses: 12-24 Waltham Place, Richmond. Melbourne, Victoria
The group of seven modest double storey working class terraces was built in 1890 to the design of H.M. Parlett on land beside the former Bedggood shoe factory in a narrow poorly planned street typical of those in the Richmond Hill area. It is actually two rows separated by a very narrow lane and slightly stepped up the hill from one another, a row of four and the higher row of three.
