Statement of Significance
What is significant? How is it significant? Why is it significant?
The shop located at 256 High Street, Windsor, is a double-storey late-Victorian building with a richly decorated Boom period facade.
The shop at 256 High Street, Windsor is of local architectural significance to the City of Stonnington.
The shop is architecturally significant as a skilfully designed example of the exuberant classical idiom of the Boom period. The complexity of embellishment is rare in Prahran for a commercial building of this modest size, and stands incontrast to the generally more conservative Italianate designs in nearby Chapel Street.
