Why is it significant?
The houses, built c.1890, at nos. 18 and 20 Davies Street, Moonee
Ponds are significant. This is a two storeyed two dwelling terrace of
the late Victorian Boom period with bichrome brickwork and a two
storeyed cast iron verandah having tessellated tiled floors and paths.
The party walls are extended as high brick fences to pillars at the
property frontages where they are connected by double palisade iron
fences on a bluestone base. Windows to the upper level are tall double
hung sash, with large tripartite or 'Venetian' style windows in the
ground floor. The front doors have sidelights and highlights. The
houses are in good condition and a have a high degree of external integrity.
The houses at nos. 18 and 20 Davies Street, Moonee Ponds are of
local architectural and aesthetic significance to the City of Moonee Valley.
The houses are architecturally and aesthetically significant as
well-detailed and very intact examples of late Victorian terrace
houses. The significance of the houses is enhanced by their high
degree of integrity and the retention of original side and front
fences to the front garden, which is rare (Criteria B, D & E).
