Statement of Significance

The cottages in Langwells and Robbs Parade are of local historical importance. The buildings are associated with Northcote's largest nineteenth century industry and the second largest brick production centre in the state. The terraces are also minor examples of the work of prolific Victorian architect Thomas Crouch, whose buildings in the municipality include all of the 19th brickwork structures and the Inebriate asylum (demolished). The cottages are amongst the few remaining row houses in the municipality, an unusual type in Northcote.
