Statement of Significance

This building was erected 1848-9 and there were alterations and additions to number 54 in 1853. The building, which forms an interesting section of streetscape, stretches from Crossley Street, to Liverpool Street and is still mainly in its original very simple form, except for alterations to shop windows and pediment. Numbers 60-62 were built by William Crossley, a well-known butcher, as a shop, slaughter yard and residence. The distinguished landscape painter, Eugene von Guerard, lived in number 56 in 1857 and 1858.
