Former Terrace Houses: 40 Gertrude Street, Fitzroy. Melbourne, Victoria
This row of three Queen Anne style Edwardian terraces now has the same street address and have been divided into several units.
It consists of two symmetrical terraces built right up to the street and a third set back concertina style with a variation in decoration.

Terraced Houses. 47-53 Thomas Street, Windsor. Victoria
This particular row of four double storey terraced homes has always interested me. It appears to be the result of several remodeling efforts and very difficult to date. The original terraces are now obscured but appear to be quite old and plain, perhaps even 1860s or 1870s. Their current form has elements of Queen Anne, bungalow and tudor revival. Possibly the result of an interwar makeover. Sadly, however they have also been significantly altered since.
