328-344 Kings Way. South Melbourne, Victoria
Former Terrace Houses: 328-344 Kings Way. South Melbourne, Victoria.
This is one of my favourite Melbourne terraces and one of the only ones remaining along Kings Way.
While the landmark triple “boom style” storey terrace is within its own heritage overlay HO1771, unfortunately last month there was an application to demolish the terraces. They appear destined to be incorporated into a 14 storey apartment tower development.
The terraces have been used commercially for many years, the most recent being an Italian restaurant, using the top levels and balconies for functions and dining.

This small row of three single storey terraces named for Sydney harbourside suburbs is an interesting transitional style between Victorian and Edwardian displaying a compact arrangement of eclectic features. The terraces have iron lacework and slate roof tiles of high Victorian terraces, but the red brick and gables of the Queen Anne style in a symmetrical Palladian layout.

Roseneath and Culloden Cottage are a fine pair of semi-detached single storey Victorian Italianate terrace houses in South Melbourne. The most notable feature is the elaborate parapet mouldings which is strongly visually separated by a bold cornice and includes a named cartouche framed by scrolls and other mouldings in an unusual free classical composition. Both are currently adaptively used as cafe/restaurants.

“New Castle” terrace is an intriguing pair of terrace houses overlooking Port Phillip Bay on Beaconsfield Parade. The most distinctive feature of these terraces is the castellated parapet including two towers with false windows in the shape of medieval turrets which adorns each and frames their cartouche.

Terrace Houses: 4-6 Longmore Street, St Kilda West. Melbourne, Victoria
This pair of narrow cottage sized single storey Italianate terrace houses feature a dainty design of intricate mouldings and a brickwork. The colour schemes of the symmetrical facades are a contrast in tastes, with 4 being restored to sympathetically reveal original tuckpointed brickwork and tile patterns while 6 is completely painted white, the trademark of the middle classes contrasted with black painted iron lace.
