Statement of Significance

The terrace of houses and corner shop at 8-12 Commercial Road is of regional significance as an unusual mixed residential and commercial composition. While corner shops were not uncommon in the Victorian and Federation period, they were generally treated as individual building elements rather than being integrated with a residential terrace. The significance of the group is enhanced by their integrity and hondsome design and detailing, including arcaded loggias with cast iron columns, iron railings to balconettes, and balustrades to first floor balconies and the parapet.
