Residence & Convenience shop

STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE

An Edwardian shop and residence ?? in the 1930's. It is architecturally significant at a representative shop surviving from the Edwardian period and as such is a rare survival. It is historically significant in embodying the way of life of the Edwardian and 1930's period and socially as known and valued by the community as part of it's sense of identity as a place.

INTACTNESS: Good. The shop-front soffit has 1930's ceramic wall tiles and interesting surviving element in itself. The cantilevered verandah signs should preferably be fixed to the verandah canopy ends below roof level. The fence sign and side signs are acceptable and probably also the temporary sandwich panels.

CONDITIONS AND THREATS

Reasonable. It needs general maintenance. Traffic pollution and vibration may threaten. The continued visibility of the use is important and should be supported, if possible.
