This historic area was registered under the Historic Places Act 1980. The following text is from the original Proposal for Classification report considered by the NZHPT Board at the time of registration. The precinct includes those properties along Oriental Parade, Wellington, from and including no's 188 to 200. The houses which make up this precinct were all built in 1906, and designed by Joshua Charlesworth, a prominent Wellington architect. They are all two storied Edwardian gentleman's houses, and have very great townscape and visual appeal. One has been significantly modified but the precinct's quality and scale is still maintained.
