Statement of Significance
A row of three Italianate brick cottages built in 1890, less than six months after the opening of the railway line, for a private investor.
Of regional historical significance as the embodiment of private capital investment and the effect of government action as stimulus to that development. Also of regional architectural significance as a rare building type.

A terraced row of three bichromatic brick houses, with hip roofs continuous, with no parapet-wall fire separation. At rear are hip-roofed wings, each with two chimneys, with heavy cement moulds. Each house is double-fronted and symmetrical with a skillion verandah continuous on timber posts. There are brick eaves brackets and four-panelled doors. There are street trees, pre-cast diamond pattern footpaths and, near the corner in Labilliere Street is an intact flat-roofed aluminium telephone box, of a type now rare.
