The place is considered to have some significance to the City of Kalgoorlie-Boulder: to be retained and conserved if possible, and the conservation of the significance of the place should also be encouraged. It is recommended that prior to any major changes, or demolition, that a photographic record be taken of the place.

Statement of Significance

The place makes a valued contribution to the visual character of Hannan Street with its verandah cover over the pavement and its parapet. The building contributes to the masonry 'wall' of Hannan Street and, the site is representative of retailing at the turn-of-the-century and is significant for its form and continuity of use.

Physical Description

A single-storey shop built to the pavement line with a pedimented parapet.

Although the building has undergone alterations and additions, typical features that characterise the building's period are evident, including recessed entrances, large display windows on the facade with stall boards below and highlight windows above, and a verandah that extends across the facade and over the pavement.

History

General Comments: During the 1890s and particularly in the early 1900s, Kalgoorlie'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.
