Statement of Significance
What is significant?
How is it significant?
Why is it significant? The Barkly Street East Precinct is of local historical significance
due to its association with the occupation during the Great Depression
of a local hall and terraces by the communist-inspired Unemployed
Single Men's Group (USMG), which campaigned for the rights of the
unemployed.
Non-Contributory properties include:
The Barkly Street East Precinct, comprising buildings at 43-149
and 56-128 Barkly Street.
The Barkly Street East Precinct is of local architectural and
historical significance to the City of Moreland.
The Barkly Street East Precinct is of local architectural
significance as a relatively intact area of predominantly terraces and
attached single-fronted houses dating from the 1880s land boom.
Although typical of the period, the consistency of building forms and
their relative intactness is unusual in Brunswick. Of architectural
note is the long terrace block located at 88 to 100 Barkly Street
which has its ground floor entries set below street level.
Barkly Street: 47, 53, 1-2/58, 61, 2-3/64, 75, 82, 86, 89, 112 and 128.
