Amendment C 29 Comment Significance (Mapped as a Significant heritage property.) 48-60 Thompson Street are of significance as one half of an outstanding example of a late Victorian streetscape comprising humble, closely set terrace houses. The retention of Nos. 79-91 opposite is integral to the significance of this row.

Other Studies Description Original Use: Residences The exact date of this terrace row has not been established. It is a typical single-storeyed polychrome-brick terrace row of the late Victorian period with cast iron decoration to the verandahs and to the picket fences. The row is set hard onto the street and is directly opposite Nos. 79-91 (q.v.). The fourteen houses that make up the two rows and the narrow street itself, combine to make this part of Thompson Street an outstanding example of a Victorian streetscape of humble houses. The houses are not all intact, however the original detailing is extant on most. It is unfortunate that not all have their brickwork exposed.
