The Glenmorgan, Albion and Clarence Streets Precinct is of local aesthetic significance for its intact Victorian cottages, Federation cottages and Interwar style bungalows, all of which reflects its development in two distinct stages, first in the 1880s and then in the 1920s. These dwellings are generally grouped in their types, with Clarence Street containing all of the Victorian era and Federation era dwellings, and both Glenmorgan Street and Albion Street containing the 1920s bungalows interspersed with a small number of non-contributory postwar houses. These dwellings have a consistent scale, setback and materiality which creates a notable streetscape pattern, character and sense of cohesion.
The mature Plane street trees in Glenmorgan Street are of local aesthetic significance for their high amenity value and significant contribution to the heritage character of the area. Leafy avenues of mature exotic street trees are uncommon in the City of Moreland. (AHC Criterion E.1)
