Statement of Significance
Statement of Significance
These two-storey shop buildings are of historical significance as they express Sunshine's emergence as a substantial town by the mid-1920s. The shops represent an investment by Alexander Robinson (owner of No. 207-211) and H.V. McKay (who owned No. 213-219), and are an example of H.V. McKay's multi-faceted role and influence in the life of Sunshine. It is likely that the buildings are also significant as being the work of architect J. Raymond Robinson, who designed the new offices of the Sunshine Harvester Works in the 1920s.
