1. 1868, a row of 25 Victorian houses was originally planned by J.P. Seddon, however only three were built. The terrace was continued after 1874 to the design of Szlumper & Aldwinkle. Part of the terrace was destroyed by fire in 1998 and was subsequently rebuilt.

3. To the north of Queen's Hotel (nprn 23274), Victoria Terrace broke Aberystwyth's stucco tradition. As part of a large, 1860s scheme for improving the town, J. P. Seddon first proposed a new crescent here in 1865. In 1868, he designed Victoria Terrace as a row of 25 houses, to be polychrome Gothic, in three colours of brick with stone detail, but only three houses were built, at expense, and the scheme was abandoned. The three houses, and especially Victoria House (nprn 310443) on the corner, have been painted over, so that Seddon's polychrome is today invisible.
