Claremont Terrace: 31-35 Cobden Street, North Melbourne. Victoria
Claremont Terrace is hidden within the industrial area to the north of the Melbourne CBD and most of the row appears to have been adaptively reused as offices.
The polychrome brick design is notable but also restrained, with the main focus the window and door framing with a combination of brown and cream brick and highlighted with an orange brick flat arch above the two double hung windows on the top storey of each terrace. The centre parapet bears the name of the terrace in a framed arch. However the parapet, stripped of its decorative urns, does reveals the slate roof and the party walls and chimneys from across the street.
