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 is made up of cottages at No's 2 - 8 Footscray Avenue, Wellington. Footscray Ave is a small cul-de-sac very near Cuba St. The cottages are very good examples of nineteenth century workers dwellings, and are virtually unaltered, but have been allowed to deteriorate because of uncertainty about proposed motorway extensions.
