It is a reminder of the former way of life in suburban East Fremantle when bread was made locally by a number of small bakeries and delivered door-to-door and demonstrates the development of East Fremantle as it was one of the original commercial premises in the area. It contributes to the streetscape and is part of a collection of heritage places in East Fremantle.
Plympton is a cohesive precinct where most of the places were constructed in the late nineteenth century and the first quarter of the twentieth century. It is comprised primarily of homes for workers and their families with a high concentration of small lots with timber, brick and stone cottages.
