What is significant? How is it significant? Why is it significant?
The shop at 458 High Street, Prahran is a Victorian timber-framed retail building with weatherboard walls and a simply detailed front facade.
The shop at 458 High Street, Prahran is of local architectural significance to the City of Stonnington.
The shop is architecturally significant as an exceptionally rare example of a nineteenth century timber-framed shop in the City of Stonnington. The building's simple and largely unadorned weatherboard facade illustrates the character of retail buildings in the Municipality prior to the boom years of the mid to late 1880s, when many early timber-framed shops were demolished and replaced by ornate masonry buildings.
