STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE

The building appears to have been constructed for John Lowe in 1857. It remained in use as a butcher shop until at least 1875 when William Fynney was the owner. The open cross parapet is an unusual design for the period. It is of local significance.

POLICY/RECOMMENDATIONS:

Geelong Regional Planning Scheme

Removal of cantilevered verandah and restoration of a more sympathetic ground floor face would greatly enhance the character of this building.
