Cook Terrace, Heritage terrace houses in Milton, Australia.

Cook Terrace comprises six connected two-story brick houses with attics, featuring corrugated iron mansard roofs and cast-iron decorated verandahs along Coronation Drive.

Built between 1888 and 1889 by Joseph Blain Cook, the terrace houses reflected Brisbane's economic growth until Cook declared insolvency shortly after completion.

The terrace transformation from prestigious rental residences to twenty-seven flats demonstrates the evolution of Brisbane's residential patterns through different social periods.

Modern renovations in 1984 converted the residential spaces into offices and a restaurant while maintaining the external heritage characteristics of the building.

Each house contains original cedar joinery, marble fireplace surrounds, and tessellated entrance tiles that reflect the architectural refinement of late 19th-century Queensland.
