The place makes a valued contribution to the visual character of this important streetscape in particular with 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 single-storey building built to the building line of Burt Street. The feature of the exterior of the building is the rendered and decorative parapet above a rendered entablature with a triangular pediment featuring classical mouldings. The pediment contains a shield with festoons each side. The interior features original decorative pressed metal ceilings and cast iron columns. The shopfront has been removed and the entrance moved to the western end of the facade. The facade is now clad with weatherboards.
The Insurance Plans for Boulder c. 1900 illustrate that Lot 69 had three buildings constructed of brick, including Brown and Co, Tailors and Tattersalls (which had a small iron extension at the rear). A verandah 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.
