The place demonstrates associations with commercial development in Kulin and represents a way of life no longer practiced.
Timber framed and fibro-clad with "brick" cladding on the front facade. Aluminium framed shop windows flank the central double doors on the frontage. The gable corrugated iron roof has vents along the ridge. A small awning extends across the shopfront, replacing the original verandah.
The Bank of Australasia originally established a branch in this building, and the manager lived at the rear of the building. The bank was closed during World War Two. In 1951/52, John McWilliams opened the place as a cafe which continued under various owners until 1961/62 when H Watson purchased the place and converted it into the Doctor's surgery which operated until 1968 when the Shire established doctor's rooms in the vacated Roads Board offices.. In 1970 it was again bought and renovated and converted to a cafe by Nick Bacich. It now functions as a hairdressing salon.
