The place makes a valued contribution to the visual character of this important streetscape in its verandah cover over the pavement and its decorative parapet. 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 small, single-storey building built to the building line of Burt Street. The feature of the exterior of the building is the rendered street elevation enhanced by a decorative rendered parapet. Typical features that characterise the building's period are the central recessed entrance framed by large display windows with timber panelled stall boards below and highlight windows, and a verandah roof across the facade that extends over the pavement. The parapet treatment of red, face-brick and rendered relief work creates visual interest.
The Insurance Plans for Boulder c. 1900 illustrate that Lot 66 had two buildings, Hocking Stationer and Kelly Tobacconist, both constructed of brick. A verandah extended across the two building's facades and over the pavement. There was one iron outbuilding attached to the rear of the Tobacconist. 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.
