Statement of Significance

Harnett House, also known as the Melbourne City Mission, is of local historical and architectural significance to the City of Moreland.

Historically, it is significant for its continuing association with the Mission which established in Brunswick on this site to assist Brunswick's poor through a missionary program. The site had been previously used for welfare work by the Salvation Army from 1888-92.

Architecturally, the Albion Street building (c.1910) is a notable example of a large domestically-styled Edwardian building which displays an interesting use of a variety of materials, including brick, timber and roughcast render in a picturesque composition.
