The cafe shops in Hampton Rd have high aesthetic and social significance for their contribution to the streetscape and town character of Northampton.
The single storey shops in Hampton Rd have painted stone and rendered brick walls. The end (north and south) walls are painted stone with brick quoining at the corners. There is a decorative parapet with rendered mouldings above a bullnosed verandah. The verandah has been rebuilt in sympathy with the town character in the main street with timber support posts although it appears the verandah was originally attached higher up on the parapet. The shopfronts have been rebuilt with painted brickwork under the windows which would be more sympathetic if rendered. The northern most shopfront appears to be older, possibly original and should be protected accordingly. The southern shopfront has a different configuration but is still quite old. At the rear of the shops there are timber framed, asbestos clad additions which would originally been an attached residence.
Mrs McEwan had a tearooms here in the 1940s. E.S.Pexton and C.M.Mitchell operated the shop as a Hardware. Later, Julie & Des Croasdale converted it to a cafe, fruit and vegetable outlet.
Integrity: Medium Modifications: Verandah rebuilt/shopfronts modified, timber add. at rear Orig'l Fabric: Mostly intact
