The Rolland Street precinct, which comprises the houses at 1-3 & 6-20 Rolland Street, Coburg. The consistency of form, scale, original external detailing and materials and siting of the contributory houses, which comprise Victorian era brick and weatherboard single-fronted cottages and one double-fronted weatherboard house, and the extent to which development in one period is apparent is integral to the significance of the precinct.
The Rolland Street Precinct is of local historic significance to Moreland City.
Historically, the Rolland Street precinct is significant as one of the few streets that provides tangible evidence of the small degree of suburban development achieved in the rural areas of Coburg north of Bell Street during the late 19th century land boom, but prior to the economic crash of the 1890s.
