Circa 1875. Terrace of 3 single storey and attic 3-bay villas with decorative ironwork. Cream rubble, squared and snecked with ashlar dressings to S elevation. Corniced, canted and tripartite windows with ashlar mullions, stop-chamfered arrises with moulded lintels, bracketted eaves.
S (KING STREET/ENTRANCE) ELEVATION: no 74 villa to centre; doorway to centre with deep-set panelled door, decorative timber lattice-work porch plate glass fanlight; canted full-height windows flanking, canted slate-hung dormer windows above just breaking eaves, decorative bracketted iron window guards, piended slate roofs. Smaller gabled dormer between with round-arched window and decorative bargeboard detail to apex.
No 72 villa to right (E); detailed as centre villa but with tripartite window to left of doorway, bipartite slate-hung gabled dormer above with window guards.
No 76 villa to left; mirror image of above (square-headed window inserted into small dormer).
N (REAR) ELEVATION: centre stair window breaking eaves with cat-slide roof and fixed-pane glazing with coloured margin panels; gabled dormers breaking eaves flanking.
Mostly 4-pane and plate glass sash and case windows. Grey slate roof, ashlar corniced stacks (2 to centre rendered), original cans. Sections of moulded guttering as cornice.
Together, 72, 74 and 76 West King Street form a symmetrically-mirrored, 3-villa set piece. These late 19th century villas are distinguished by their ornate foliage-patterned cast-iron porches and balconies, moulded stonework detail and bracketed, multi-dormered roof-scape. Set back from the road, they are a distinctive component of the lower Helensburgh streetscape, and part of a wider Helensburgh architectural vernacular. Their form and profile remains substantially unaltered.
