2½ storey, traditional, gabled, red-brick houses with front verandahs (c. 1900).

Ground Floors – At no. 144, façade is obscured by modern, glazed verandah below original, hipped-roof, having gable at LH side. Brick wall of front of house is not visible. At no. 148, similar verandah roof and gable are built off five original, slender, wooden columns. Ladder-beam with decorative spindles spans between columns and returns at sides to posts adjacent masonry of house. No. 148 has period, half-glazed door with mid-rail decorated with dentilled cornice, set over three horizontal panels. At RH side, wide original fenestration comprises lower, square sash with segmental-headed, stained-glass, transom window above.

Second Floors – Two, 2/2 windows symmetrically placed, with typical wooden sills, and with segmental, red-brick arches above. (Windows at no. 144 are replacements, and sills are flashed with sheet-metal.) Voussoirs are without hood-mouldings because gable trim is set too low, but vertical hood-mouldings appear at upper jambs, dropping to meet red-brick, two-course stringcourse below.

Gables – Gables are in both cases clad in painted, decorative, wooden shingles with modest horizontal moulding above brickwork below. Centred within gable are frames having ABA rhythm, with lateral, casement windows either side of central panels embellished with carved reliefs of stylized, potted flowers. Soffits, clad in beaded-boards, extend from simple moulding at wall-head. Gable fascias have shingle-mouldings, while roofs are clad in asphalt roof shingles - black at no. 144 and green at no. 148.

Comments – A pair of attractive houses in good condition and with interesting details at gables in particular. Verandah at no. 148 serves as an example for that at no. 144, where ideally this should be reinstated; or revealed, if possible. Original ground-floor fenestration is assumed to remain at no. 144 and if not, again, no. 148 provides the example.
