Church and Municipal Reserve - Physical Description 1
The Church and Municipal Reserve precinct is situated at the corner of Sydney Road and Bell Street, Coburg. It contains a collection of civic and institutional buildings including the prominent Uniting, Anglican and Roman Catholic church complexes, the two campuses of Coburg Primary School, the former Coburg Secondary College, and the Coburg City Hall and municipal offices, together with a number of private dwellings. It includes the following properties:
- 74-98, 81A Bell Street
- Coburg Primary School Infants' School
- Elm Grove
- 512-562 Sydney Road
There is almost no street planting, but the plantings associated with the three church complexes and the City Hall help shield these buildings somewhat from the noise of the large volume of traffic which passes by them. Various paving materials are used but the traditional surface is asphalt. Kerbs and gutters vary, with the traditional material being bluestone pitchers.

- Bluestone Cottage, 82 Bell Street (1864)
