Statement of Significance
What is significant?
The house, constructed c.1890 by William Spurr, at 53A Pleasant Street. The relative intactness of the original part of the house within the main hipped roof, including the form, siting, external detailing and materials as it appears from Pleasant Street contributes to significance of the place.
Non-original alterations or additions to the side and rear of the house, outbuildings, and the front and side fences are not significant.
How is it significant?
The house at 53A Pleasant Street, Pascoe Vale is of local historic significance to Moreland City.
Why is it significant?
It is historically significant as one of a small number of houses that provide tangible evidence of the earliest phase of speculative suburban development in Pascoe Vale, which was a response to the opening of Pascoe Vale Station in November 1887. This group of houses in Pleasant and Prospect Street is particularly significant as an illustration of the extent to which speculative subdivision occurred in areas that were remote from transport and services.
