"Hepburn Terrace" - East Melbourne

            Located in East Melbourne's George Street, "Hepburn Terrace" is a well-preserved, symmetrical group of six rendered brick two storey terraces designed by the architects Austin and Ellis for Robert Hepburn and built in stages between 1855 and 1872.  201 (seen to the left of the photo was the first built in 1855).  203 (seen to the right of the photo) was built in 1867.

Constructed on bluestone foundations, all the houses that make up "Hepburn Terrace" share similar architectural details and matching cast iron two-storey balustrading.  The dwellings are wide with three full height windows to the upper floor and entry with two double hung windows to the ground floor.  "Hepburn Terrace" presents an intact frontage, with all lacework, cast iron fencing, bluestone plinths and, in some cases, front door handles, in place and quite sound. Numbers 199 -203 present quite a different design to Numbers 205 - 209, reflecting the seventeen year gap in their construction. The former are slightly smaller, and tend to the more austere, unembellished approach of the earlier Victorian era.  The fine bluestone piers and cast iron fences are intact the length of the Terrace.
