Statement of Significance
The Tyrone Street Urban Conservation Area has significance for its retention of a sequence of relatively intact single fronted and single storey cottages, once common throughout Prahran. The form of development, including the street pattern, housing types and street materials, provides important evidence of Prahran's historical role as an area of artisan housing.
Heritage Characteristics
The key heritage characteristics of the Tyrone Street Urban Conservation Area are:
the consistent form, scale, setback and period of the buildings the narrow street width, part of the street pattern of this locality, with the continuing use of asphalt and the retention of bluestone as traditional street construction materials the consistent and continuing residential use characteristic of a nineteenth century artisan housing area as the dominant land use the relationship of this area to a larger precinct which demonstrates the working class history of this part of the municipality.-

Tyrone Street Precinct - Physical Description 1
Tyrone Street Urban Conservation Area comprises a small street in Prahran which demonstrates many of the characteristics of working class housing. Along the east side of the street is a row of terraces comprising attached pairs. These allotments extend through to Hyland Street. On the west side is a more diverse range of cottages, all set closely together. Tyrone Street is slightly wider than the other streets in this locality. Architecturally the small Victorian cottages and terraces in Tyrone Street are typical, rather than outstanding, in form and detailing. They represent housing of the late nineteenth century, and form an integral part of a small local area which in the past had its own corner shops and hotel (the Argo Inn). The consistency in form, scale and setback of these houses is the predominant characteristic of the Area.
