Statement of Significance

The complex of buildings at 1 Audley Street, Coburg, is of local historical significance and architectural interest.

Historically, the premises, which operated as a small dairy in the 1920s and '30s, and subsequently as a grocer, provides valuable evidence of a type of commercial enterprise which was common at that time, but which has subsequently become obsolete with refrigeration techniques and mass marketing of dairy products.

Aesthetically, the shop is a representative example of a modest inter-War shopfront displaying typical Moderne design influences (RNE Criterion E.1). It remains as a local landmark at the northern end of the Station Street axis.
