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 shop built to the pavement line. Although the building and the shopfront has been altered, components that are typical of the building's period are the recessed entrance, a large display window on the facade with stall boards below and highlight windows above.
The Insurance Plans for Boulder c. 1900 illustrate that Lot 64 had three parts. One part had two shops, Beehive Café Gundry and Ryan Mercer, both of which were constructed of brick, and an outbuilding made from iron. The second part of the lot had one building, the Boulder Race Club, and one outbuilding, both of which were constructed of iron. The third part had an unnamed shop made of brick. There was 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.
