Statement of Significance

The former store, 106 Main Street is historically and architecturally significant at a CONTRIBUTORY level. Although altered, it is associated with building developments in Great Western in the 19th century, and it demonstrates some important design qualities of a Victorian style. These qualities include the hipped roof forms and the skillion verandah that projects towards the street frontage. Other intact or appropriate qualities include the horizontal wall cladding, galvanised corrugated iron roof cladding, brick chimney (now overpainted), timber verandah columns, timber framed double hung windows and four panelled timber doors. The timber picket fence and scrolled metal gate also contributes to the streetscape.
