Statement of Significance

What is significant?
The buildings at 587-609 Station Street have functioned as commercial buildings from at least the 1880s through to the present day. The stores operating in the heart of Box Hill have provided essential services, including banking, baking, grocers, hairdressing and dentistry to the community for more than a century. The shops are all currently extant. The site potentially preserves archaeological deposits, features and/or artefacts for yard and sub-floor deposits related to the late nineteenth and early twentieth century occupation of the properties.
