Statement of Significance

This place is a representative example of an early shop in the area and has historic value for its association with the development of the Bayswater townsite. The place makes a significant
contribution to the townscape. The place has historic value for its association with the Campbell family.

Physical Description

Brick shop building with double facade facing two streets at an obtuse angle. The main shopfront to Whatley Crescent has large, tall display windows on either side of a recessed central double door and a tied cantilever canopy over. There is a dado of glazed brown tiles on the lower part of the walls and under the windows. The same treatment continues around the corner on the other face with a single window. The canopy has been removed from this side of the building. Here the side door and residential type double hung window serves the rear part of this side wall. The wall on both facades extends upward into a tall parapet with recessed
panel above the canopy and is surmounted by a decorative cement ball and stand at each of the four corners. The parapet over the doorway is topped by a triangular pediment carrying the date of construction and bracketed by decorative scrolls.

The buildings on the strata lots to the rear of 79 Whatley Crescent, fronting onto Hamilton Street, do not have heritage significance.

History

The original store was built in 1919. It was run by the Campbell family and was the main grocery store in Bayswater from just after the Great War, right up to the 1950s when it was overtaken by the Supermarket era, at which time the verandah posts were removed. The store worked on the basis of deliveries and also supplied produce for the many farms in the district, right up to Morley Park. Harold
Campbell, the son of the first owner, later became Bayswater's town planner during
the early 1960s.
