Statement of Significance
The Brunswick Road East Precinct, including places 196-214, 218-224 Brunswick Road, Brunswick.
How is it Significant?
The Brunswick Road East Precinct is of local historical significance to the City of Moreland.
Why is it Significant?
It is an intact and cohesive strip of pre-War dwellings, providing evidence of several successive phases of residential development in the area in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The houses, while different in style, are otherwise similar in their scale, materials and setback. Somerset Terrace, comprising an attached row of seven Victorian brick houses, remains as a key element in the precinct, and in the wider streetscape. (AHC Criterion A.4)

Brunswick Rd East (Sydney Rd to Railway) - Physical Description 1
The Brunswick Road East (Sydney Road to Railway) Precinct comprises the properties at 196-224 Brunswick Road, Brunswick. It is a residential area comprising a small group of predominantly single-storey Victorian and Edwardian houses along the south side of Brunswick Road between Sydney Road and the railway line. All but one retain their residential use. Opposite are a former cable tram shed and the large former Masonic Hall.
The houses are generally small in scale however they are dominated by a Victorian terrace of seven single-fronted rendered brick dwellings at Nos. 202-214, named SOMERSET TERRACE on the parapet pediment. The terrace is simple in detail and varies in its intactness and condition. Some fences have been replaced and verandahs have been paved in concrete. Other notable buildings include the Victorian terrace at 196-198, which are of tuck-pointed polychromatic brickwork construction. They have been altered by the addition of a heavy, arched rendered brick loggia to the facade and timber picket fence. No. 218is an ornate, symmetrical, block-fronted weatherboard house with timber fretwork and bracketed verandah. No 220 is a long brick interwar (circa mid 1930s) single storey house. Nos. 222 and 224 are the only double-storey houses and are relatively simple in detail. The appearance of No. 222 has been altered by the later concrete roof tiles to the main hipped roof and verandah.Numbers 216 & 216A Brunswick Road were constructed after 2000 and are non contributory elements.
There is no street planting in the Brunswick Road East Precinct and traditional street surfaces have been replaced with concrete.Heritage Study and Grading
