Statement of Significance

The facade is a representative example of the commercial architectural style at the turn of the century, derived from Victorian precedents. The place is a fine, substantially intact, example of a Federation Warehouse style building that makes a significant contribution to the streetscape. The facade is a critical element in the streetscape of Henry Street located as it is between two significant early buildings. The place is of social significance as evidenced by its classification by the National Trust.
