COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES, 10-40 MAIN STREET, BOX HILL

There is moderate archaeological potential for deposits associated with the late 19th and early 20th century residential and commercial occupation of the site.  The development of the Main Street site is reflective of the changing character of Box Hill from the 1880s land boom through to the present day.
The site is of historical significance in providing insight into the early 20th Century growth, development, and identity of Box Hill. Additionally, the site holds potential for archaeological deposits associated with the first district newspaper established in the 1880s.
