Statement of Significance

A most unusually intact pair of single storey terraced houses built for Alexander Gunn in 1887 and owned by the City of Port Melbourne. Each terrace, built mainly of rendered brick, consists of seven houses, each with a front verandah, and there is a broken roof pediment over the central house and a smaller roof pediment at each end.
The slightly concave pattern picket fence with individual spade pickets covers the full length of the fourteen houses and has intermediate posts and gate posts in timber with cast iron finials.
The simply detailed parapets, the substantial chimneys, the cast iron friezes to the verandahs, the front doors and windows and the picket fence are all intact in each of the fourteen houses. These two small simple unpretentious terraces with a consistent colour scheme are excellent examples of the domestic scale of the Port Melbourne suburban streetscape and apart from the paint colours, the houses are as originally designed.
