How is it significant?

The Blyth Street Precinct is of local architectural and historical significance to the City of Merri-bek.

Why is it significant?

The Blyth Street Precinct is of local architectural significance as a large and intact area of Victorian and Edwardian residential buildings, several of which are of architectural note. Buildings of particular significance include the polychrome brick terrace at 91-101 Blyth Street, and the two-storey bi-chrome brick mansion at 59 Blyth Street. Blyth Street in particular contains a number of large residences that contrast with the more closely settled, working class areas further south in Brunswick. The south side of Blyth Street contains unusually long land parcels.

The Blyth Street precinct is of local historical significance as an example of a late 19th century boom-period subdivision.
