History
Information from Assessment July 1982
The group of three timber framed and corrugated iron stores of the Streeter & Male family. The business was commenced in the 1880's by E.W. Streeter, a London gemstone dealer. He was joined in the 1890's by Arthur Male whose descendants still live in the town and run the store. Modification sus as new shopfronts, metal awnings and air conditioners in replacement of wind scoops are to be regretted but do not destroy the strength of the group.
