Traralgon: 212-216 Williams Road. Toorak. Melbourne, Victoria
Part of the 1890s Bush Inn Estate, this row of three brown bricked terraces is rich in Mannerist style high victorian decoration with the mid terrace featuring a high parapet comprised of triangular and round shell patterned pediments and patterned corbels. The name of the terrace “Traralgon” is emblazoned on the parapet and obviously inspired by the Victorian town in the Latrobe Valley founded around 30 years prior. The verandahs feature thick round and flat arched windows and leadlights rich in cast iron filigree with rounded corner brackets and central pendants as well as a richly detailed fence. Even the blind arches have keystones for added effect.

12-35 High Street, Millers Point. Sydney, New South Wales
Miller’s Point has a large number of terrace rows, however many differ from typical terraces in their Edwardian style and their unusual layout and arrangement. There are at least six massive rows of such terraces near the harbour at High Street and Windmill Street along Walsh Bay and a redevelopment area which is now called Barangaroo. At least four of these rows are nearly carbon copies.
