57-71 Napier Street, Essendon. Melbourne, Victoria
This impressive row of eight double storey boom style polychrome terraces, captured by Alastair Lamont, is situated close to the “Windy Hill” Essendon football ground (home of AFL’s Essendon Bombers). Suprisingly for such a rare substantial suburban row, these homes are not even afforded local heritage protection under the Mooney Valley Council Planning Scheme.1 Though they appear to be generally well looked after and highly sought after.

The polychrome brick terrace has many classical features to indicate its Italiante style, while its overall composition is distinctively eclectic.
