FORMER MARKET STREET STRUCTURES, BOX HILL

The site has the potential to contain significant historical archaeological features, deposits and/or artefacts which relate to the earlier land use as an evolving community market and commercial hub (1895-present) and a timber mill (1878-1929). There are several phases of construction that may be evident in the archaeological record, notably the expansion, fire and rebuild of the timber yard, and the demolition of the timber yard and market buildings in the 1920s. 

The Market Street Structures site is of local historical significance as a representative of the developing commercial centre of Box Hill and its changing character from the 1880s land boom through to the present day.
