: 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 with a pedimented parapet decorated with classical motifs. Although the shopfronts have been infilled, components that characterise the building's period are evident, including the large display windows on the facade, the stall boards below and highlight windows above, and a verandah that extends across the facade and over the pavement.
The Insurance Plans for Boulder c. 1900 illustrate that this lot had two parts. One part had two shops both constructed of brick, Evans Auctioneer and Mazzucchelli Downes Jewellers, and one outbuilding made from iron. The other part of the lot had two shops, Ezywalkin Boots (brick building with extensions made of iron) and Evans Sharebroker (brick building), and a stable at the rear that was constructed of iron. 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.
