    Lenore Crescent Heritage Precinct - Physical Description 1

    Lenore Crescent is a residential street, running in a north-south direction, between Ferguson and Stevedore streets. Towards the centre of the street it curves slightly. Most of the houses are modest in character and are predominantly single-storey, detached, weatherboard Interwar bungalows, set back from the street by mature gardens. Their roof forms are hipped and gabled with terracotta tiles. Other characteristics of the houses are their asymmetrical form with shingled gables and canted bays, and some have leadlight windows. Front fences have mostly been replaced, but sympathetic low timber picket or steel and brick fences have been built. The street is wide and has nature strips with mature trees. Kerbs, gutters and footpaths are concrete.

    The integrity of the housing stock is good and overall cohesion of the street is high. Although there are some later buildings, they are generally related in terms of their scale, set back and forms.

    Other key elements include:

    - All bungalows

    - 1920s single car garage, 1 Lenore Crescent

    - Edwardian cottage, 11 Lenore Crescent

    - Double-storey, English Domestic Revival style house, 15 Lenore Crescent

    - Nature strips and mature trees

    Many of the bungalows are possibly State Savings Bank of Victoria designs. (Further research is recommended to establish this)

    There are a number of non-contributory buildings including the post-war and recent houses at 10, 13, 19 and 20 Lenore Crescent.
