Statement of Significance

This single storey simulated stone and weatherboard building was erected, about 1900,near an important road junction by Mr Freeman for Mr Harry Dodd. The wine shop is of local historical significance in that it was associated with the prosperous wine industry of Lilydale area in that era. The Dodd family held a liquor licence from 1899. The building is also significant as it was used as a boarding house in addition to being the headquarters of the Dodd family bus service with regular local trips and holiday excursions to the Dandenongs.
The building, which externally is reasonably intact, is still used as a wine shop and residence and is one of the few remaining buildings of Victorian times in this area.
