How is it significant?

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 housesin Pleasant and Prospect Streetis particularly significant as an illustration of the extent to which speculative subdivision occurred in areas that were remote from transport and services.
