Pulteney House and St Frances House: 45-47 Carlisle Street, St Kilda. Melbourne, Victoria
St Frances House (45) and Pulteney House (47) Carlisle Street, St Kilda
Despite the efforts of multi-storey flats in recent years, the 1880s boom style terraces of Puteney House and St Frances House still dominate the streetscape between the Barkly Street and St Kilda Road junctions of Carlisle Street. The pair of white double storey “Melbourne style” or “Boom style” terraces form a small row with prominent classical parapets.
The parapets are dressed classical triangular pediments with blind balustrades and urns forming twin Palladian motifs over a decorative frieze of repeated swags in the style of elaborate Italianate villas. The terraces themselves are dressed in classical adornment with flat arched bay windows at the bases.
