It contains two rare examples of gold-rush period warehouses, the 1854 brick Pynsent's Second Store and Cooper's Blacksmith Shop at the rear of 361-5 Little Lonsdale Street, and the 1853 bluestone Pynsent's First Store at 303-305 Elizabeth Street constructed by the notable firm of James Lawrence & son.
The laneway also contains the three-storey brick Cooper's Warehouse at the rear of 359 Little Lonsdale Street, designed in 1887 by the significant Melbourne architects Twentyman and Askew for the ironmongers and importers J Cooper & Son. All three buildings and the laneway remain substantially original and have been in continuous use for commercial purposes for over 130 years. The precinct retains an intimate scale coupled with a consistent 19th century architectural character.
