Statement of Significance

What is significant?

The Avenue Precinct, Windsor, is a small residential area of freestanding Victorian villas developed from the early 1880s to 1900.

Elements that contribute to the significance of the precinct include:

The consistent construction dates. The consistent open setbacks of the villas. The detached form and generally consistent scale of individual villas. Few prominent additions and alterations. All the buildings along the eastern side of The Avenue within the precinct are of high individual distinction and have been identified as significant buildings under the City of Stonnington Planning Scheme. These villas remain largely intact to their original states, and typically survive with their presentation to the street unaltered retaining verandahs and decorative detailing. Few examples of non-contributory modern infill development with the exception of the developments at 35, 37 and 49 The Avenue. Face brick or rendered masonry materiality, and roofscapes with chimneys and pitched roof forms clad in slate or tiles. Garden setbacks to the street which are generally (with the exception of 46 and 54) free from prominent vehicle accommodation. Anumber of buildings along the east side of The Avenue retain original fences to the street. All of the buildings have fences that are sympathetic to the late Victorian character of the precinct. The large plane trees in the median strips along both sides of The Avenue.
