  • Many of Paddington’s lovely terrace houses, with their narrow frontages, iron-work verandahs and pocket-handkerchief gardens, were erected following the construction of the Victoria Barracks in the 1840s. The area went into decline during 1931′s Great Depression, but an influx of migrants revitalized the area after WWII. Many of those migrants moved out following the suburb’s gentrification in the 1960s and ’70s. Some of the most interesting examples of the Victorian terrace style are found in Glenmore and Jersey Roads, and Cascade, Liverpool, Windsor and Paddington Streets.
