Statement of Significance

C Listed - Local Significance

Architecturally, a simple early stone store which is comparable with more sophisticated Melbourne and Geelong examples, but it is built of basalt and recognizably of an early date. As a building type and wall/materials combination, it is one of three stores in the city still visibly of basalt construction.

Historically, with 55A Gheringhap Street, it is from Ryrie Streets commercial beginnings and is complementary in its use to the former Hunt grocery shop and residence a nearby bulk storage facility.
