Statement of Significance

This timber house (one of a pair with No. 34) dating from the 1850s, has state historical significance for its early date of construction and association over a long period with Thomas and Robert Morrison, local Prahran gardeners. The house has associations with two important early industries - horticulture, which flourished in the South Yarra area in the 1850s and 1860s, and with the carrying trade, an important service industry. The house at 34 Macfarlan Street is of equal historical significance; and further field research is required to establish whether it is in a comparable state of physical intactness and therefore design significance.
