The place makes a valued contribution to the visual character of this important streetscape in its verandah cover over the pavement and its 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.
Single-storey shops built to the pavement line with an Italianate and balustraded pedimented parapet employing classical motifs. Typical features that characterise the building's period are the recessed entrance with a large display window on the facade with stall boards below and highlight windows, and a verandah that extends across the facade and over the pavement.
The Insurance Plans for Boulder c. 1900 illustrate that on this part of the lot there was a Costumer in a building constructed of iron, and Poltz Tobacconist and the Bank of New South Wales (both constructed of brick). The area where a carpark is currently located was the Railway Hotel, which was constructed of brick, and two outbuildings also made of brick. Next to the Hotel was a shop 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.
