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.

1-11 Auburn Parade. Hawthorn East. Melbourne, Victoria
Terrace Houses: 11 Auburn Parade. Hawthorn East. Melbourne, Victoria
This row of six narrow single storey houses is set back from the street and marches gently up Auburn parade. Unfortunately overgrown with trees and difficult to photograph, as such only houses 1-3 are pictured. Each house shares a party wall, but has its own hipped roof and central chimney partially obscured by their parapets. Most likely they were originally a row of modest Italianate villas, however the entire row has had its facade modified, most likely during to the late Edwardian or interwar period, making them fairly difficult to date.
