Statement of Significance

What is Significant?

The terrace row, constructed in 1891, at 10-16 Davies Street, Newport.

How is it Significant?

The terrace row at 10-16 Davies Street, Newport is of local historic and aesthetic significance to the City of Hobsons Bay.

Why is it Significant?

Historically, it is significant as it was among the first houses to be constructed within this part of Newport and it therefore illustrates the early speculative subdivision and development, which occurred just prior to the 1890s depression. (AHC criteria A4 and D2)

Aesthetically, it is significant as an intact representative example of a Victorian brick terrace, a building type that is common in other inner-metropolitan areas but rare in Newport and Williamstown. (AHC criteria B2, E1 and F1)
