Premier Terrace 2-12 Wentworth Park Road Glebe Sydney New South Wales
Premier Terrace 2-10 Wentworth Park Road Glebe. Sydney, New South Wales
This row of six double storey Italianate terraces enscribed “Premier Terrace” (centre parapet), fronts Wentworth Park along the busy but tree lined Wentworth Road in Sydney’s Glebe between Mitchell Street and Park Lane and is serviced by Mitchell Lane.
The style is typical of the Italianate terraces of the late 1870s and early 1880s but more akin to the majority of Melbourne’s terraces. The origin of the name, along with the exact age, architect and builder as though this row is part of the Glebe Conservation area, it is not specifically mentioned in any heritage studies.

Lorne Terrace: 83-87 Mitchell Street, Glebe
Lorne Terrace was built in 1875 by William Jarrett1. Notable for the use of the post-Regency Georgian style, a style fairly common in Glebe for the Industrial Building Society2. Architecturally it features the distinctive simplistic gable roof form with plain window ledges with double hung six pane windows and a single storey verandah with a concave striped corrugated iron roof with a small step down every couple of houses with chimneys in between. The individual houses are defined by their doorways and the rainwater downpipes which descend their facades.

Terrace Houses: 31-42 Mitchell Street, Glebe. Sydney, New South Wales
The Glebe Estate contains numerous long and uniform rows of single and double storey terraced homes, many very similar in style and most featuring similar roof features. Pictured is part of a row of thirteen single storey Victorian terraced homes on Mitchell Street.
The cottages are narrow and most of the focus architecturally is on the roof, in particular the blade style party walls which protrude above the slate tiles culminating in a moulded chimney for each house giving the row a picturesque quality.

Terrace homes at 433-445 Glebe Point Road. Glebe, New South Wales
This alphabetically named row (Abna, Boro, Cama, Divo, Edna, Freya and Gaza)1 is one of Glebe’s more interesting rows of terraces.
Built in 1899-19002, the Queen Anne style edwardian terraces have a picturesque roofline combining prominent gables with a high pitched tile roof, decorative wooden fretwork bargeboards and tall chimneys with rows of terracotta pots. The corner terrace on the Leichhardt corner is particularly interesting as it faces the corner with an angular bay with one of three feature gables. The corner terrace also has decorative string courses, window surrounds as well as angular niches and rear access doors with palisade fencing.
