Why is it significant?
The terrace houses at 76 and 78 Hope Street, Brunswick, built in
1889-90, are significant. The cast iron palisade fence on a bluestone
base to both houses also contributes to the significance of the place.
Non-original alterations and additions are not significant.
The terrace houses and front fence at 76-78 Hope Street,
Brunswick, are of local representative and aesthetic significance to
the City of Moreland.
It is a representative example of a Victorian terrace pair, with
typical form and detailing such as the visible separate hipped roofs
(one with the original slate), verandahs set between wing walls
including one with a tiled floor, original panelled doors and
tripartite windows, brick chimneys with moulded cornices, and moulded
cement detailing to the end walls and party walls. It is notable for
the highly decorative polychromatic brickwork, being the only known
terrace houses in Moreland with this type of brickwork, and also for
less common features such as the arched wall niches. The retention of
the original or early cast iron palisade fences, which include both
front and side gates, is also notable, and contributes to the setting
of the houses. (Criteria D & E)
