Statement of Significance
What is significant?
The two dwelling terrace at 108-110 Clarke Street, Northcote, known as "Maryville" and "Belleview" respectively, erected by the building contractors Anthony Gaul and William Barter in 1888.
How is it significant?
The two dwelling terrace at 108-110 Clarke Street, Northcote, known as "Maryville" and "Belleview" respectively, is historically and aesthetically significant to Darebin City.
Why is it significant?
It is historically significant (Criterion A) as a known speculative development associated with the builders Gaul and Barter, who soon after erecting the terrace allowed the Mercantile Permanent Building Society to assume possession in a manner typical of the Depression of the early 1890s. It is important also for its capacity to interpret the nature of development sustained in the locale during the Boom years, comparing in this respect with nos. 106, 107-09 and 155 nearby but adding another dimension on account of its two storeyed terraced form.
It is aesthetically significant (Criterion E) as a prominent and representative late Victorian terrace imparting character to Clarke Street especially on account of its two storeyed form, terraces of this type being unusual in the locale.
