Statement of Significance

Holyrood Terrace consists of three two-storey rendered brick houses and was built in 1874 by the stone mason William Watson. The ground floor comprises a recessed arcade with semi-circular arches and the first floor features a row of windows with voussoir decoration. The simple cornice has a central nameplate.

Holyrood Terrace is of architectural and historical significance to the State of Victoria.

Holyrood Terrace is of architectural significance as an excellent example of a conservative classical-style terrace, and as an examplar of a building type which is a distinctive feature of inner suburban Melbourne. The terrace is typically composed with ground floor recessed arcade. The wide semi-circular arches and the mouldings to the first floor windows are interesting features of the facade, as are the bluestone pillars of the colonnade.

Holyrood Terrace is of historical significance as an essential element of Gore Street’s 19th century streetscape, and as an important remnant of the early development of Fitzroy.
