This row of three single storey double fronted red brick Victorian era terraces mid way along the block is probably most notable for sporting a rare piece of Australiana – a kookaburra motif in its iron lacework. According to expert on cast iron lacework Graeme Robertson, just a couple examples of this pattern in use exist, and one of them, at 16 Chatsworth Road, Prahran was demolished a couple of decades ago. This may be the only row of houses existing in Australia with this pattern.

Corana and Hygeia are a pair of two storey Victorian Terrace Houses built in 1896 by the wife of Judge Thomas Calleghan. The terraces, designed by architect Edmund Blacket were originally built as rental houses.
