How is it significant?
Why is it significant?
Architecturally and aesthetically, the precinct comprises
particularly intact streetscapes of interwar houses, most notably the
bungalow-style houses erected between 1926 and 1936, which form a
cohesive series in terms of consistent detailing and materials and are
enhanced by the original front fences to most of the houses. The
remaining houses in the precinct , dating from the late 1930s and
'40s, are complementary in scale, form and materials. (Criteria D
& E)
The Newhall Avenue precinct, a residential area developed from
1926 on the site of two of Essendon's oldest houses, is significant.
The houses at nos. 1-9, 2-14 and 18 Newhall Avenue and 4-14 Milfay
Avenue and the original front fences to most of the houses contribute
to the significance of the precinct.
The Newhall Avenue Precinct is of local historic, architectural,
and aesthetic significance to the City of Moonee Valley.
Historically, the precinct demonstrates what was a typical pattern
in the suburbs between the wars, when large Victorian properties began
to lose their viability and were carved up for closer settlement.
