Terrace Houses: 15-17 Franklin Street, Maddingley. Bacchus Marsh, Victoria
Not something that you’d expect in Bacchus Marsh, much less one of its suburbs, this is a very rare row of double fronted single storey terraced homes. Described by the Moorabool council as “brick cottages” it is one of the only heritage protected structures in Maddingley and has its very own heritage overlay HO15.

Terrace Houses: 121-125 Wattle Street, Bendigo. Victoria
This pair of terrace houses, among the most impressive double fronted double storey renaissance revival teracces I have seen in Australia is currently recovering from severe 1960s bastardisation. Until recently an unfortunate 60s reno had resulted in poorly maintained lacework was enclosed by wood, demolition of the third in the row to be replaced by a block of dog-box flats and the whole facade obscured by paperbark trees. Perhaps the most interesting aspect of these terraces is that they have full verandah facades on both sides with a rare long parallel double hipped roof.

Terrace Houses: 166-168 Old Inglis Road, Ballan. Victoria
This pair of timber terraced houses (or cottages) in Ballan particularly interests me. Not only is it a pretty good but rare example of terraced housing in a small Victorian town, but it appears to also be an early example as well.

Hollyford: 57 St Vincent Place Sth, Albert Park. Melbourne, Victoria
Hollyford is a spectacular double fronted Victorian villa in the terrace style found overlooking Albert Parks beautiful St Vincents Gardens. Built in 1873 in polychrome brick and render, this single storey terraced house features incredible detail typically associated with the Melbourne “boom style”.

416-426 Lydiard Street North. Soldiers Hill. Ballarat, Victoria
This row of six single storey double fronted red brick Victorian era terraces is the longest of several single storey rows along Lydiard Street. The row marches down the hill and terminates in an end terrace shop on the Macarthur Street corner. The terraces themselves are wide with a central door and a prominently banded facade with double column support filligree verandahs and feature original cast iron fences. The roof features decorated eaves and a visible low pitched profile with two banded chimneys.
