Fernville Terrace: 35-41 Mackenzie Street, Bendigo. Victoria
Fernville Terrace is a relatively large row of terraces for a regional Australian city and is a striking sight in the precinct around the Sacret Heart Cathedral. The design is particularly interesting. Set on a hill, the double storey terrace follows the downward slope, with the bottom storey appearing sunken from street level. In fact the entrances to the terraces are on the second storey, accessed by stairways which form a key part of the architectural expression.

Newington: 152-154 Barnard Street, Bendigo. Victoria
Newington is one of the most spectacular rows of terraces along Bendigo’s much celebrated Barnard Street heritage precinct. Overlooking the Queen Elizabeth Oval, this row of two double storey terraces dates back to the early 1870s and was built for James Brierley. Brierley was originally a local stonemason who was responsible for several of Bendigo’s oldest buildings.

This pair of unnamed red brick “blood & bandage” style Edwardian terraces in regional Bendigo is interesting, impressive and simple at the same time. The terrace is set back on the block on a steep hill overlooking the city on a street filled with terraces and villas. Although they are single storey, they have the commanding presence of a double storey terrace which is aided by the tall staircase ascending the retaining wall and the courtyard below. The stairs and halls run side-by-side toward the middle party wall.
