Statement of Significance

These three bluestone three-storey stores are believed to have been constructed in the early 1850s and were used in that decade as the premises of businesses associated with the early horse bazaars in Bourke Street such as coach builders, blacksmiths and veterinary surgeons. They were later used as bonded stores. The buildings are of great interest because of their age, their primitive rubble construction and their notable associations with a very early and now vanished industry of the city.
