How is it significant?
The Stewart Street precinct is of local historic significance to the City of Moreland.

Why is it significant?
Of historic significance, as a largely intact collection of predominantly late nineteenth century houses that illustrate the speculative development in this area prior to the 1890s depression that was associated with the development of transport services. It is one of the few such nineteenth century residential precincts in this part of Brunswick, with most other areas not developing until the Edwardian or interwar periods. (AHC Criterion A.4)
