Latrobe Terrace Shops Heritage Area

Location Latrobe Terrace Shops Heritage Area Level Included in Heritage Overlay

Statement of Significance

The Latrobe Terrace Shops Heritage Area comprises two small groups of shops separated by several dwellings. Many shops retain relatively intact facades including leadlight windows, decorative ventilator over window, showcase and ceramic wall tiles on the shop fronts and parapet decoration.

A series of shops built in brick and timber is architecturally significant, being surviving buildings dating from the early 1860's to the Edwardian era. Historically they are significant since they embody past retail practice in Newtown.

The area features little or no separation between buildings, minimal setbacks and buildings with predominantly timber cladding.
