Bowen Terrace stands on part of granted to Joseph Moulder in 1836. In 1875 Henry Thomas Bowen purchased from Moulder and in 1876 he constructed Bowen Terrace. Bowen Terraces was designed by the town's Architect John Hale who also designed his home, Glenroi House, built at the same time. William Hawke purchased the Terrace from Bowen (date unknown) and the father of the present owner purchased the property in 1924.[1]
It is a two-storey terrace building constructed of stuccoed brick with a continuous roof covered with corrugated iron. The balconies and columns are of cast iron. The Terrace was restored in 1968–72, the builder being Mr B. Tate.[1]
A row of twelve Victorian Italianate terraces with encompassing hip-ended long gable roofs of rendered brick. Party walls extended to the upper verandah roof only. Curved verandah roof supported on flat cast iron columns with cast iron trim and balustrade on both levels. Two pairs of French doors per dwelling on the upper floor. Solid panelled timber entrance door (with a low arch and transon light). The name and construction date of 1876 is on the central decorative parapet.[1]
