A small single-storey building built to the building line of Burt Street. The exterior of the building features a stuccoed facade enhanced by a decorative stuccoed parapet.

History

The Insurance Plans for Boulder c. 1900 illustrate that Lot 65 had five buildings, one of which was made of brick, Sewell Agent. The other buildings, made of iron, were a Laundry, Teesdale and Linton Auctioneers, a vacant shop and the Boulder "Star" News (that did not have any street frontage). There were several outbuildings at the rear, all made from iron. A verandah extended across the facades of Sewell Agent, the vacant shop and the Laundry and over the pavement.

General Comments: During the 1890s and particularly in the early 1900s, Boulder's population swelled by a steady influx of men seeking employment in the goldfields and somewhere to settle. This increase in population had a great influence on the town's growth. It necessitated the survey of more town and suburban lots, increased subsidies for road construction and numerous buildings were constructed.
