Some Contribution: non-original shopfronts, but scale form and material of the substantive place remains.
A group of three masonry shops with a simple parapet detailed with pilasters and a moulded cornice line above a flat boxed suspended canopy that extends across the shopfronts stepping down between shops one and two. The shopfronts are contemporary open spaces.
In 1920, this was the site of Mrs (or Miss) Clara Moody's residence and dressmaking establishment, which occupied the current sites of No.133-137. In the mid-1930s, Mrs Moody had a single shop built beside her house and in 1940, two more shops were added, replacing the house. In 1949, No.133 was the dental surgery of Ian Currie, No.135 housed Mrs Lilian Leslie's cake shop and No.137 was the Commonwealth Bank. By 1960 the Commonwealth Bank owned the building and little had changed except for the owners of each business. Mr Hazlehurst had the dental surgery and Mrs Jones the cake shop. By 1990, the Bank had expanded to occupy the entire building removing the dividing walls and bricking up much of the shop windows in the façade. In 2000, the Book Café was occupying the entire space.
