History

Bowen Terrace stands on part of 256.2 hectares (633 acres) granted to Joseph Moulder in 1836. In 1875 Henry Thomas Bowen purchased 3.281 hectares (8.11 acres) 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]
