Statement of Significance
The Marshall Street precinct is of local architectural significance. The area is visually cohesive, having a predominant Edwardian Queen Anne architectural character. The precinct is enhanced by its hilly elevated siting and the row of cypresses along the median strip, the most prominent and mature of Banyule's median plantings.

Marshall Street - Physical Description 1
Marshall Street is located at the brow of the hill, and due to the divided road the precinct is isolated visually from the east side of the street, which was not connected with the Hillsley Estate. The west side of the street comprises almost entirely large detached houses from the early 20th century. They are of red brick construction, with hipped and gabled terracotta tiled roofs. Many have distinctive decorative details.

Landscape
The median itself is typical of those seen within the municipality, built to allow streets along steep contours. The site slopes gently from west to east along its length. The median is defined by a dry joint rock edge. A central timber barrier runs the length of both medians, with an angle cut top rail. The barrier is painted white.
The site features an extensive row of 12 Bhutan Cypress (Cupressus torulosa), and an underplanting of Agapanthus (Agapanthus praecox). The row is completed at the northern end by a Mexican Cypress (Cupressus lusitanica). The gaps between the Cypress have been interplanted with Silky Oak (Grevillea robusta), which appear to be more recent additions. A number of large weeds have established on the site, and including Cotoneaster, as has a self-sown Canary Island Date Palm (Phoenix canariensis).
