The Sedgman Street terraces are all near identical single storey, single fronted decorative brick houses with party walls while the Albert Street terraces are in two near identical groupings of ornate rendered brick buildings typical of the late Victorian period. The East Brunswick Hotel is the most imposing of the structures captured by the precinct as a three-storey Classical Revival building dominating the Albert and Lygon Street intersection.
