Statement of Significance

Builders' Terrace is of local architectural and historical significance.

Builders' Terrace is rare surviving example of double-storey terrace row development in Preston, and the moderately intact and distinctive Hotham Street elevation forms a notable element in the streetscape. The terrace in all probability was directly associated with the local brickmaking industry. Terrace development was unusual in Preston, and those which survive in nearby Raglan Street and Livingstone Parade are only single-storey. The extant row of outbuildings with night soil hatches are rare examples of nineteenth century sanitary disposal methods.
