32 QUEEN’S CRESCENT

Vice Principal W. E. McNeil! left his 1924 brick house to Queen’s. It now houses the Ban Righ Foundation. Its importance to the street-scape lies in its Queen’s Crescent facade which is dominated by the large gable roofed entrance porch. Square brick piers support the porch roof and. a low brick wall capped by stone extends around the open porch. A central window with sidelights in each storey rises to a large gabled dormer.

174 STUART STREET

Built in the early 1900’s as a private dwelling this house has had no external alteration beyond a small rear enclosed wooden addition. An angled chimney breast forms a corner of this two and a half storey brick house. The large front windows have to their left an entrance porch which protects a deep recess with transomed doorway. Above the porch is an oriel window. At the west side are small windows, which light a stairwell, and a short rear extension. The eastern side has a centraJ wide angled bay.

ADELAIDE HALL

Built in 1951 at the corner of University Avenue and Stuart Street, Adeloide Hall, named for Mrs. R. S. McLaughlin, was planned as an extension of Ban Righ. The difference in street level makes the second floor of Adelaide level with the first floor of Ban Righ. The corner entrance has above it a large angled hay which rises to a roof parapet. The eastern facade has window placement matching that in Ban Righ. A wide string course above the lintels of the first storey windows goes around the building.
