Statement of Significance
This pair of two-storey houses, the stone portion of which was built byJames Lawrence in 1853-54, is amongst the earliest examples of this type of construction in Fitzroy.
The buildings illustrate the combination of an early use of stone with an important early builder in that material. The buildings were refacedand rear extensions added in the 1890s when they were owned by Edwin Oldfield, a well-known Canadian dentist who was the founder in 1895 ofthe Dental College of Victoria, reputedly the first institution of its kind in the Southern Hemisphere. The two-storey brick stables and doublebrick toilets at the rear of the properties, which may date from the 1850s, are significant as rare survivors in Fitzroy.
