General notes:
These houses, originally numbered 722-726 Queensberry Street, was constructed c.1907. They are first listed in the Sands & McDougall directory of 1908, at which time No. 292 was vacant. The first occupants were Mrs F Lawson, James Cornish and Arthur Seymour.They are a row of single-storey Edwardian houses constructed in red brick with contrasting rendered string courses. Each house has a hipped corrugated galvanised steel roof and bullnose verandah supported on turned timber posts which are set on a low brick fence with a rendered capping. The street elevation to each house has a double-hung sash window and timber entrance door with a highlight window. There is a large brick chimney with a corbelled cap, between Nos. 772, 726 and a second to No. 726.They are of local historical and aesthetic interest. Although erected in 1907, they are typical of the sort of modest row housing that characterised the inner suburbs in the late nineteenth century. Aesthetically, they demonstrate the application of the Edwardian style to a Victorian terrace form.
