Statement of Significance

The bakery demonstrates a 'way of life' and contains the only existing commercial oven of its age in Guildford (oven is now bricked in).

Physical Description

A two-storey brick and iron house and bakery with cast iron roof. Built in two stages, the first (c.1865) facing east and built into a steep bank, the second (c.1900) facing west and partly sited on top of the bank. At some time the upper part of Stage 1 has been demolished and replaced with a corrugated iron wall and roof.

The house has a fine timber staircase and has no cavity walls except for a small portion of Stage 2 south wall. The original ovens have been removed but the chimneys remain. The building arrangement is such that it appears to be only single storey from Johnson Street. The upper level and west facade have been sympathetically restored and/or adapted with modern bathroom and family room in the corrugated iron walled part of the building.

History

The bakery building was constructed at the original level of Ellen Street carriageway.
