Non-original alterations and additions are not significant.
How are they significant?
The houses at 1, 3 and 5 Dickens Street, Moonee Ponds are of aesthetic significance to the City of Moonee Valley.
Why are they significant?
Architecturally, they are highly representative of the born period (Criterion D), their grouping as three detached houses rather than as a terrace being of interest. Aesthetically, they make an important contribution to the historic nineteenth century character of the Dickens Street precinct (Criterion E). Their importance in this respect is enhanced by their intact state.
