Statement of Significance

Constructed just prior to the economic recession of the 1890s in Melbourne, No 285 High Street is a particularly exuberant and substantially intact example of Italianate boom style commercial architecture. The decorative rendered details and first floor arcaded loggia are distinctive features.

The buildings assertive character is a notable element in the local landscape, and terminates the vista down Mitchell Street.
