Statement of Significance

Following the Gothic stylistic precedent set by Crouch and Wilson's Church of the Immaculate Conception in 1869, two commercial and one ecclesiastical Gothic revival designs were added along Burwood Road over the next 35 years to create a stylistically harmonious group. Together with similarities of style and materials, the group includes important individual designs of the former E.S.&A. bank by Terry & Oakden (1874) and the Catholic presbytery designed by William Ellis in 1882. The last, least distinguished addition was King's Funeral parlour in 1904.
