How is it significant?
The Frederick Street Precinct is of local historical and architectural significance to the City of Merri-bek.
Why is it significant?
The Frederick Street Precinct is of local historical and architectural significance for its capacity to demonstrate features of subdivision activity in two periods: the 1858 proposal for the village of Wrigglesworth which resulted in the creation of Frederick Street but was otherwise unsuccessful; and Queens Park Estate subdivision in 1887 which was virtually fully developed by 1906.
The precinct contains a mix of modest Victorian, Edwardian and Inter-War housing, and contains a number of interesting buildings which add to its architectural significance, including the Victorian brick cottages in Frederick Street and the two-storey Inter-War maisonettes in Macfarland Street and the large former bluestone store building on the train line backing onto Albion Street.

The Frederick Street Precinct is a predominantly residential area to the west of Anstey Railway Station, containing buildings from the Victorian to inter-War periods.
Frederick Street itself contains mostly Edwardian houses, with some from the inter-War period, and a number of 19th century buildings, including Nos. 44-66, a row of single-storey bichrome brick terraces, alternately brown and cream and red and cream.
The side streets adjacent to the railway line, Bryant Street and Orient Grove, are predominantly Victorian and Edwardian, as is MacKenzie Street. Crook Street contains mostly Edwardian and inter-War houses, whilst all three periods are represented in MacFarland Street.
Of particular architectural note are the three pairs of unusual two-storey inter-War maisonettes at 30-40 MacFarland Street. These have red brick ground floor, rendered first floors and gables terracotta tiled roofs. They also have some unusual Arts and Crafts-inspired details, including glazed tiled windows sills, tapered roughcast chimneys and circular windows. Albion Street, to the north of the Precinct, comprises mostly Edwardian timber villas. Throughout the Precinct, many front fences have been replaced, although in Frederick Street, some original timber picket fences and timber and woven wire examples remain.
The only non-residential building within the Precinct is the bluestone and red brick structure adjacent to the railway line on the north side of Albion Street.
Street plantings are mostly native, and include Melaleuca in MacKenzie, MacFarland and Crook Streets, and Eucalyptus in Frederick Street. Traditional street elements retained include asphalt footpaths and bluestone kerbs and gutters in Crook Street, MacFarland Street, MacKenzie Street and part of Orient Grove, and asphalt footpaths in Frederick Street. Bluestone rear lanes have been retained.
