New barley twist window trim

Nineteenth Century Terrace with a New Twist

New barley twist moulding added to enhance the front window of this beautiful Victorian terrace in Fitzroy North. Barley twist moulding was used extensively as external window decor in early Australian architecture. Complimenting the existing ornate parapet the moulding is fitted with a woodturned cap and base typical of the era.
