A single storey shop of brick construction with an attached dwelling to the rear, situated on a corner lot. It has a corner truncation that contains the front entry door with a dome awning above. The walls to either side of the truncation each have a large single pane fixed window with two smaller fanlights above and an arched brick lintel. The shopfront has a simple parapet above with a signage recess to each frontage and a moulded capping. The dwelling to the rear of the shop is painted brickwork with a corrugated metal roof with vented gablets. There is a skillion roofed addition at the rear of the dwelling in similar materials.
The subdivision plan for this portion of Maylands was approved by the Department of Lands and Surveys in 1903. It reflects the development of Maylands in the early 1900s which was undergoing a significant increase in population as a result of the many new industries established in the area. From the readily available information this shop and residential premises were constructed c1915 and the first occupant was Mrs I Christensen who operated a store, presumably a mixed business grocery. This was the nature of the business at these premises until the late 1940s. Frank Charles Ruck operated a store here throughout the 1930s and 1940s. Aerial photographs indicate the addition to the rear of the original residence has been largely in its current form since the mid 20th century. In 2016, a series of more recent additions across the rear of the building were removed. A new structure was constructed in the rear of the lot and accessed from Fergusson Street.
