Internally each of the houses possesses a staircase which formerly led onto the roof. This arrangement is said to have been connected with viewing the trotting activities on the course below. The terrace is in good condition with alterations being confined mainly to a single-storey modern addition to the rear of each. Some parapet and cast iron decoration is missing, there has been some infilling or glazing of rear verandahs, and the front facades have been painted. Each of the four lots are set on approximately 215 m2, with frontage to Clarke Street of approximately 5 m, and extend approximately 50 m from front to rear.https://www.realestate.com.au/property/186-clarke-st-northcote-vic-3070/ 186 Clarke Street, Northcote RealEstate.com.au n.d. 2026-09-30 See also Architecture Victoria Architecture of Melbourne List of places on the Victorian Heritage Register in the City of Darebin Terrace houses in Australia References Category:1888 establishments in Australia Category:Buildings and structures in the City of Darebin Category:Houses completed in 1888 Category:Houses in Melbourne Category:Places on the Victorian Heritage Register in the City of Darebin Category:Terraced houses in Australia Category:Victorian architecture in Victoria (state) Category:Victorian places listed on the defunct Register of the National Estate
