From number 1 to 10 are Grade II* Listed Buildings. They were designed by John Foster. Together with Hope Street and Rodney Street it forms the Rodney Street conservation area.
The freehold to the Terrace and the Garden area in front belongs to Liverpool City Council. The land next to Hope Street is maintained, in part, by the city council and the leaseholders. The exact status of this land is unclear except that it is unadopted by the City Council's highways department. The roadway is a public road and the Garden is used as a park by locals.
Famous quotes containing the word terrace:
“A tree that can fill the span of a man’s arms
Grows from a downy tip;
A terrace nine stories high
Rises from hodfuls of earth;
A journey of a thousand miles
Starts from beneath one’s feet.”
—Lao-Tzu (6th century B.C.)
