GV II

Group of 5 large terraced houses with attached verandah,
forming part of row of 15 in interestingly varied but
generally harmonious style; numbered consecutively from right
to left. Mid to later C19; altered. White-painted stucco,
slate roofs, stuccoed chimneys; cast-iron verandah. Eclectic
style with Italianate features. Double-depth plan, No.3
single-fronted and the others double-fronted, with back
extensions.
EXTERIOR: two-and-a-half storeys, 3+3+3+3+2 windows, a
strongly articulated composition in which No.3 is gabled, and
from No.4 onwards the left bay of each house is treated as a
gabled wing and each house breaks forward slightly from the
wing of its neighbour to the right; with moulded sillbands to
both upper floors carried round the whole, and bracketed eaves
and gables (the latter in open-pedimented form). All the
gabled bays have large canted and pilastered bay windows at
ground floor while those at the ends (i.e. at No.3 and to left
at No.7) are 2-storeyed; and the right-hand bay of No.5 also
has a similar storeyed bay window; otherwise, all the gabled
bays have tripartite windows to both upper floors, those at
2nd floor being Venetian and those at 1st floor having
pedimental cornices in Venetian form (mostly open-segmental).
Of the other windows, those at ground floor are tripartite,
those at 1st floor one-light with open pediments on consoles
(mostly segmental) and those at 2nd level mostly round-headed
half-dormers under prominent moulded semi-circular roofs. Each
house has a large square-headed doorway in the bay next to its
wing, all with narrow side-windows and overlights. Tall
multiple-flue corniced chimneys. Carried round the front of
the whole range is an attractive cast-iron verandah of uniform
design, with open-work standards which have moulded capitals
and arched open-work spandrels, and a glazed roof (raised to
form a pitched canopy in front of the doorway of No.7).
INTERIORS: not inspected.
Adjoins Nos 1 and 2 to the right (qv), and Nos 8 and 9 to the
left (qv).
All the listed buildings in Beach Lawn, together with those in

Adelaide Terrace, Bath Street, Marine Crescent and Marine
Terrace, form a group in the Waterloo Conservation Area of
Crosby.
