    Lygon Street - Physical Description 1

    The Lygon Street Precinct includes the properties at 38-58 Lygon Street, East Brunswick. This includes a group of buildings around the intersection of Lygon and Barkly streets that comprises a mixture of building forms but is predominantly made up of Victorian shops and houses. Nos 52 -54 is a 1970s two storey brick building and is non contributory to the precinct.
    
    The residences at Nos 38-42 comprise a row of substantially intact, single-fronted, single storey, ornate Victorian terraces. No 38 has visible tuck-pointed polychromatic brickwork, whereasNo 40 has been rendered and 42 has beenpainted, and all have a decorative parapet with rendered, broken pediments featuring building names, urns and Tridachna shell motifs. All appear to have original brick garden walls and cast iron spear front fences on bluestone plinths.
    
    The shops at Nos 44, 50, 56 and 58 are fairly intact, Victorian, single-fronted, double-storey brick buildings notwithstanding later awnings and paint schemes. No 56 still has an early rendered facade with remnant visible signage. All have ornate Boom Style parapet details.
    
    The shops at Nos 46 and 48, flanking the intersection, address the street corner although they appear to have had the original verandahs removed. They are single storey, brick buildings which have been altered externally to accommodate modern business requirements.
    
    The street planting in the precinct is minimal and of fairly recent Eucalyptus species. Traditional street elements have been replaced with concrete kerb and guttering and brick paved footpaths.
