Statement of Significance
Architecturally, (1-3), of a typical 19th century row house form, but 'unusual in their possession of the bayed verandahs and undivided hipped roof line; also prominently sited, representative of the original subdivision period, and a successful embodiment of the investor's usual desire to differentiate his own home from the leased counterparts: of regional importance.
Historically, built by a merchant in the agricultural field, so typical of Essendon's metropolitan role as the residential suburb for this class: of local importance and regional interest.

HOUSES (YARMOUTH, STRATHAM AND CLIFTON) - Physical Description 1
(1-3) Large, double-fronted two-storey, stuccoed row houses with two-level window bays which are twice echoed in the two-level, bayed cast-iron verandahs and slated, hipped roof bays above. The main roof hip runs transverse to the lesser roofs, giving the appearance of two, joined asymmetrically-planned Italianate villas which are typical of that period (see 24 Grosvenor Street).
(5) Similar to (1-3) but detached.
(1-3) are generally complete: (1) possesses a cut-back, presumed original picket fence whilst (3-5) have new fences. The iron verandah friezes of (5) have been removed.
Streetscape
As two-storey occupiers of one end of a harrow block and placed On a hillside, they are not only prominent, but achieve a stepped, picturesque roofscape with the descent of the hill. Nearby 11 Levien Street and the Leslie Street precinct, give a contemporary context.Heritage Study and Grading
