Terrace Houses: 367-368 Beaconsfield Parade, St Kilda West. Melbourne, Victoria
On Beaconsfield Parade opposite a small triangular reserve, Catani Gardens and West Beach in St Kilda, can be found what remains of a truly special row of Melbourne terrace houses. Only 2 of the original spectacular row of 5 houses remain. The State Library of Victoria records this terrace as 3 storeys, perhaps because their photographs do not show the sunken English style basement floor. Although bastardised the remaining terraces are three bays wide and retain some of their original features.

This picture shows 301-303 Beaconsfield Parade, a dainty single storey row of three Edwardian terraces. Pictured is a real estate sign declaring “no heritage overlay”. The terrace is located in the City of Port Phillip, however without any heritage protection this row may yet become victim to the current rampant overdevelopment of this prime beachfront address. Edwardian terrace rows (longer than a semi detached pair) are quite rare in this part of Melbourne and in Melbourne as a whole.
