The building is exceptionally intact and its most distinctive feature is one finely detailed facade of exposed hawthorn bricks with cream brick mouldings.

Group Statement of Significance: A fine group of nineteenth century townhouses and single fronted residences. These houses are substantial in size and have been designed by some of Melbourne's notable Victorian architects including Crouch and Wilson; Oakden, Addison and Kemp; James Gall; Smith and Watts, and Charles Webb. Numbers 12-32 are a high quality and intact range of single-fronted residences and generally date from 1859-1868 (Nos 16, 18 & 22 being later). They provide a rare display of a spectrum of designs that were adopted by Melourne architects in the pre-Land Boom era of the city's development.
