General notes:

Grading as at 1999: Upgraded from E to DPeriod: Victorian c1876-81These houses comprise three of four single storey, single-fronted Victorian terrace houses. The walls are of rendered masonry, and the transverse gabled roofs are clad in corrugated galvanised steel. The verandahs are terminated by rendered wing walls with rendered consoles, and have cast iron decoration. The facades have timber-panelled entry doors with fanlights, and the windows to Nos. 257 and 261 are timber-framed double-hung sashes. The windows to No. 259 probably dates from the inter-War period. No. 261 retains its original iron picket fence. They are of local historical and aesthetic interest and are representative of the modest cottages which proliferated in North and West Melbourne in the Victorian period. Aesthetically, the houses are reasonably intact Victorian terrace houses which is an important group within the streetscape.
