The De Carle / Bishop Street Precinct is predominately residential, with detached single-storey weatherboard Edwardian-era houses predominating, particularly in De Carle Street. In Bishop, Lillian, Albion and Wraith Streets, single-storey cottages and terraces comprise the majority of housing stock. The architecture of the area is reasonably diverse, from the early bluestone cottage in Albion Street to the Victorian Timber houses in De Carle Street.

In Bishop, Lillian, Albion and Wraith Streets, single-storey cottages and terraces comprise the majority of housing stock. The architecture is reasonably diverse area reflecting several periods of development, from the early bluestone cottage in Albion Street to the Victorian timber houses in De Carle Street. The character of part of the Precinct is, to an extent, informed by the tight planning in Bishop and Lillian Streets, both cul-de-sacs.Traditional street elements retained include the section of concrete road in Albion Street, constructed under a 1930s government employment scheme; bluestone kerb and guttering and asphalt footpaths in Albion, Bishop, De Carle, Lillian and Wraith Streets; bluestone crossings between Albion and Bishop, and Lillian Streets; and complete bluestone roadway in Wraith Street. Several bluestone rear lanes also exist. Street planting includes Melaleuca in Bishop Street.
Warr Park retains mature elm plantings from earlier this century, and includes a BCC substation and mud brick community building.
A separate individual data sheet has been prepared for Warr Park (HERMES No. 59151) in the Moreland Local Heritage Places Review 2004.
