Why is it significant?

The Donald Street Precinct is of local architectural significance as a representative example of an area characterised by a variety of grouped residential terraces that were built in the late 19th century, as well as Victorian villas and three rows of single storey terraces at 48-52 Donald Street. Oxford Terrace at 54-68 Donald Street (HO71) includes eight houses under one roof and is the most intact. Other terraces include a long row of semi-attached terraces in Barrow Street from Donald to Mitchell Streets, and similar terraces in Mitchell Street. The north side of Donald Street comprises predominately single-storey 19th century villas, including 'Iona' at No. 31 Donald Street. St Margaret Mary's Church and school, although later buildings, provide a focal point in the area.
