Considered to be of world significance, South Parkville is an almost intact triangle of late Victorian houses, famed for their iron lace decoration and curious embellishments.

This intriguing district, adjoining Melbourne University and the Royal Melbourne hospital, was classified in 1972 by the National Trust - Australia's first Metropolitan Historic Area classification. The submission to the Trust from the Parkville Association, prepared by Hilary Lewis, was the basis of the first edition of South Parkville (1974), now out of print for many years. This 1997 edition adds valuable research data about the area's past, and updates the first edition.
