Terrace Houses: 151-159 Albion Street, Brunswick. Melbourne, Victoria

I find this row of five single storey worker terraces in Brunswick particularly interesting. Primarily because of its plain, almost moderne treatment which is a stark contrast to the spirit of many nearby boom Victorian terraces and houses.

Terrace Houses: 747-755 Park Street, Brunswick. Melbourne, Victoria

There are several rows of terraces lining Park Street and overlooking the northern end of Royal Park, however this row of five is probably the most distinguished.

What differentiates this row is their width and that mirror each other in a row of perfect symmetry.  Each house has high parapet marked by a triangular pediment framed by scroll corbels and flanked by large decorative urns in the italianate style which effectively hides hipped roofs.
