How is it significant?
The Hoffman and Hunter Streets Precinct is of local historical and architectural significance to the City of Moreland.
Why is it significant?
The Hoffman and Hunter Streets Precinct is of local historical significance for its associations with the Hoffman Company, which was responsible for land development activities to the west of its brickworks. Changes to municipal laws forced the Company to sell off land it had originally set aside for opening up as clay holes.
The Hoffman and Hunter Streets Precinct is of local architectural significance for the 19th century houses on the north side of Hunter street, which constitute some of the earliest 19th century residential development in the west of Brunswick. Some notable architectural styles include brick terraces and small Edwardian brick and block-fronted timber villas, in addition to the substantially intact Inter-War Bungalows. The most characteristic buildings of the precinct are all single-storey with a mix of timber and brick construction.

Some properties retain original garden elements; notable is the extensive garden of 1 Owen Street, a large property which abuts the Moonee Ponds Creek, which contains mature conifers and palms.The Precinct is enhanced by mature Melaleuca trees in Owen Street. Other street planting includes smaller specimens of Melaleuca and various Eucalyptus in Hoffman Street, and small natives and Prunus in Hunter Street. Original street elements include bluestone kerbs and gutters and asphalt footpaths in Hunter Street.
