Statement of Significance
What is significant?
The two adjacent shops built at different times between 1870 and 1900, and the attached dwelling at 2127 Heathcote-Redesdale Road are significant. All of the construction is known to have been completed before 1920. The stone drainage channel is also significant.
How is it significant?
The shops and dwelling are of local historic, technical and aesthetic significance to the City of Greater Bendigo.
Why is it significant?
Historically, as a rare example of this type of early 20th century small town attached shops, the only other examples in the study area are found in Heathcote. The adjacent dwelling provides tangible evidence of the living arrangements of the successive butchers and shopkeepers who ran these businesses. (Criterion B, A)
Aesthetically, the middle shop with the decorative curved parapet and intact details such as diagonal timber stallboard, lamb's tongue glazing bars, and elaborate sill moulding, is an unusually attractive and complex country shop of its era. (Criterion E)
The residence is technically significant for the timber paling and shingle roof that remains under iron. (Criterion F)
