Statement of Significance

LOCAL SIGNIFICANCE - INCLUDED IN HERITAGE PRECINCT

STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE

An unusually long row of speculative housing from the 1890's period. They are typical of the Victorian style timber houses built in Geelong West but are very restrained for the Late Victorian period to which they belong and perhaps reflect the modest incomes of the early occupants. They are of local significance.

POLICY RECOMMENDATIONS

G.R.P.S.

Reinstatement of appropriate fences, gates, verandah columns and decoration, and appropriate paint colours would greatly enhance the character of the buildings and streetscape
