The place is considered to have a high level of significance to the City of Kalgoorlie-Boulder and valued by the local community. Maximum encouragement to conserve the significance of the place should be provided to the owner under the town planning scheme.

Statement of Significance

The place makes a valued contribution to the visual character of this important streetscape in its verandah cover over the pavement and its decorative parapet. The building contributes to the masonry 'wall' of Burt Street. 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 building designed in the Federation Free style and built to the building line of Burt Street. The exterior features a curved decorative parapet with classical motifs, and a verandah that extends across the facade with a lean-to roof that covers the pavement.

It is located mid-way between the Court and Grand Hotels, and has the appearance of a small shop and unusually small dimensions for a licensed premises that it once was.

Typical features that characterise the building's period are the shopfront with its recessed entrance and a large display window on each side with stall boards below and highlight windows above, and the verandah that extends across the facade and over the pavement.

History


Documentary Evidence: The Insurance Plans for Boulder c. 1900 illustrate that Lot 138 had two parts. One part had the Newcastle Hotel which was constructed of brick and had a front verandah that extended over the footpath. The other part had an empty brick building with three iron outbuildings, one of which was a Bakers Oven.

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.
