Moran’s Terrace: 100-104 Mollison Street, Bendigo. Victoria
Moran's Terrace: 100-104 Mollison Street, Bendigo. Victoria
On the southern edge of Bendigo’s CBD is this gem row of three double storey houses built and named for Maurice Moran in 1873 (as inscribed on the tympanum of the parapet). Moran was a well known and respected resident who started as a printing foreman for the Bendigo Advertiser, Bendigo City Councillor, real estate developer and agent before moving to Melbourne and later Sydney.1 The design of residential architect T.A Nicholls2 produced a simple but stunning classically inspired row, with the most interesting features being the extensive vermiculation single storey verandah. Unfortunately it is difficult to photograph due to a mature evergreen situated right in front of the mid terrace.

57-69 Spensely Street, Clifton Hill. Melbourne, Victoria
Terraces (59-69) and Corner Shop (57) in Spensely Street, Clifton Hill
The Clifton Hill estate was developed in the 1870s and with its own railway station opening in 1888 quickly sprouted a number of boom terrace rows. This row of seven (including corner shop) erected the same year in the Queen Anne style and is one of the most consistent and richly decorated in suburban Melbourne.
They were developed by T Smith for Charles Abbott in 18881

8-14 Morang Road, Hawthorn. Melbourne, Victoria
Terrace Houses: 8-14 Morang Road, Hawthorn. Melbourne, Victoria
Despite being some of the architecturally most impressive in the area, this row of five double storey Hawthorn (polychrome) brick houses is scarcely mentioned in official heritage studies, particularly the Morang Road precinct1, although neighbouring single storey terraces are. Perhaps it is assumed. In any case these boom style Italianate terraces were erected in 1887 (as indicated on the parapet) as a speculative development, exploiting the proximity to Hawthorn railway station which had increased in prominence with the line’s extension to Camberwell.

Elsie Terrace and Shop: 2-8 Portman Street, Zetland. Sydney, New South Wales
"Elsie Terrace" and Shop: 2-8 Portman Street, Zetland. Sydney, New South Wales
While much of Zetland is undergoing urban renewal as part of the Green Square project, a small pocket of the original Waterloo estate developed mostly in the 1885 stands much as it did, the Zetland Conservation Area1. The row of three double storey Italianate terrace homes is named “Elsie Terrace” and was erected in 1886 as indicated on its central pediment.

3-21 Paternoster Row, Pyrmont. Sydney, New South Wales
Terrace Houses: 3-21 Paternoster Row, Pyrmont. Sydney, New South Wales
Pyrmont has some impressive long stretches of terrace houses. While the vast majority were built in Sydney’s Harris and Macarthur estates during the 1870s and 1880s with decorative iron lace, some earlier sandstone georgian working class terraces survive. The fact that this working class row of ten was built in brick as early as 1860 sets it apart.
