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.
A small single-storey building built to the building line of Burt Street. Typical features that characterise the building's period are the central recessed entrance with large display windows on each side and its verandah cover across the facade that extends over the pavement.
The Insurance Plans for Boulder c. 1900 illustrate that Lot 55 had two parts. One part had an iron building, the WA Bank. The other part had two brick buildings, Rodda Milliner and Mercer and “Rodda” and a verandah that extended across the building facades 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
