Statement of Significance
The Moore and Hardy Streets Urban Conservation Area has significance as an area demonstrating a pattern and sequence of development from the 1850s to the 1890s, and retaining a sequence of relatively intact single fronted, single storey cottages typical of nineteenth century artisan housing and once common throughout Prahran.

Moore & Hardy Streets Precinct - Physical Description 1
The Moore and Hardy Streets Urban Conservation Area comprise detached or semidetached cottages built of brick or timber and modest in scale and form. They predominantly date from the late nineteenth century, with some dating from the early years of the twentieth century. In character these two streets are narrow in width and retain bluestone kerb and guttering, asphalt paving and roadway, with no nature strip provided. While Hardy Street retains lower and more traditional fencing, Moore Street has high brick fencing which substantially detracts from the character of the streetscape.
