Why is it significant?
The Ewing Street Precinct is historically significant as evidence of the residential growth in Brunswick during the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, which was associated with the continuing development of industries in the nearby areas that increased employment and created a demand for housing. (Criterion A)

It has architectural and aesthetic significance as an enclave of late Victorian and early Edwardian timber houses. It is particularly notable for the early twentieth century houses that demonstrate the transition in styles from the late Victorian to Federation/Edwardian and interwar periods and are related in terms of form, materials, siting, scale and detailing. (Criteria D & E)

No.106 Edward Street is notable within the precinct as a substantially intact former shop and residence, which retains rare details such as the original timber shop windows and entry doors, and forms a minor landmark within the local area. (Criteria D & E).
