How is it significant?
The terrace of ten shops at 581 to 599 High Street, Northcoteareaesthetically significant to Darebin City.
Why is it significant?
It is aesthetically significant (Criterion E) as the longest terrace of Inter War shops in High Street, forming a dominant element in the Northcote streetscape. This dominance is enhanced by the substantially intact nature of the buildings and by the unpainted condition of the upper level facades of nos. 589 - 599. It is the repetition of identical simply stated elements that is noteworthy, this aspect being strengthened by the almost complete absence of intrusive signage, especially at verandah level.
