Statement of Significance

The building at 1 Murray Street, Colac is one of a small group of surviving and relatively intact single storey shops from the period. It is a well proportioned emporium prominently located within the original section of the town. It is architecturally detailed and finished with a remarkably high degree of sophistication for buildings of that period located outside one of the major shopping streets in Melbourne. It is considered that Adam Rea was a man of some importance in the development of Colac and the district.
