Why is it significant?
The precinct is historically significant for its associations with the development of Moonee Ponds during the development boom of the late nineteenth century. It recalls the period when the (Union Road and Moonee Ponds) shopping centre in the vicinity of Ascot Vale and Moonee Ponds stations and the introduction of the tramway were established to service its suburban context. (Criterion A)
The precinct is architecturally and aesthetically significant as a fine collection of Victorian and Federation domestic architecture from elaborate freestanding Italianate masonry villas through to modest single fronted timber dwellings. (Criteria D & E)
