Why is it significant?
The double-storey terrace pair at 140 and 142 Edward Street,
Brunswick, built in 1889-90, is significant. Non-original alterations
and additions are not significant.
The double-storey terrace pair at 140 and 142 Edward Street,
Brunswick, is of local representative and aesthetic significance to
the City of Moreland.
It is significant as a representative example of a Victorian
Italianate terrace pair, displaying the typical features of this type,
such as the pre-cast ornaments adorning the facade, the decorated tall
parapet concealing the M-profile hipped roof, and the moulded
chimneys. It is of note for the less common siting built hard on the
frontage with no setback, which has resulted in detail such as the
moulded crossheads above the windows and doors. This imposing form is
relatively unusual in Brunswick and distinguishes the building in the
streetscape. (Criteria D & E)
