Statement of Significance
Former precincts 6.4 & 6.5 adjoin 6.2 on the north and north-east and hence act as a buffer to this important area.
Nevertheless they do contain some locally interesting streetscapes, individually significant buildings and groups of well-preserved housing from Bendigo's golden era.
Former Precinct Bendigo Residential 6.02
As with 6.01, this precinct contains some of the study area's most prestigious houses, dominantly of the 19th and early 20th century era. Persons associated with them include successful mining speculators, such as Mueller and Lansell, and this century's industrial leaders in the Leggo family, both categories reflecting Bendigo's economic base pre and post World War One.

Stevenson Street Precinct - Physical Description 1
Description of former Precinct Bendigo Residential
In the west of the precinct are fine 19th, early 20th Century residential streetscapes in Forest and Wattle Streets, north of Barnard Street. Individually significant sites include numbers 113 (cI871), 116, 117, 119, 126, 128, Acacia Villa at 129-131, 133 and 140 Forest Street and, in Wattle Street, numbers 166, 167,169,174,179,182,184 and the former fuse factory at 193. As with View Streets, proximity to former gold working areas, at Ironbark Gully, signal a depletion of surviving built fabric from the past, making Langston Street the cut-off point on the north.
Physical characteristics resemble those for residential parts of Precinct 6.01: single-storey, pitched roof (iron or slate) detached villas constructed mainly from brick (rendered or face), picket front fencing.Stevenson Street Precinct - Physical Description 2
