ASHFIELD
Palace Street
Main Period: Victorian- Federation - Interwar

Leadlight apparent at No’s 3, 7, 14, 20, 20A, 50 & 54
Palace Street was initially subdivided as the Queen’s Grove Estate in 1881. It, like many streets in Ashfield has a large and long recreation reserve in the centre. Lots were again offered for sale in 1885, 1888 and 1913. Consequently houses were built in Palace Street over quite a number of years and the buildings in the street exemplify a number of building styles from humble Victorian weatherboard cottages, Federation homes and mansions and Californian Bungalows and just about everything between then and now. Unfortunately not a lot of leadlight is left.
