Corner Shops: Websters Deli

Statement of Significance

The comer shop on the comer of Webster and Edward Streets has aesthetic, historic. social. representative
and mrity cultural heritage significance. The shop is a fine example of simple Federation commercial
architectural design. Tt has many architectural features still appreciated by tne general community today. It
represents a class of places from a period of time before cars and collective shopping centres when people
used their local shop as it was within casy walking distance. Though not unique. the operation of a corner
shop in a residential area is rare as so many have been forced out of business by larger. more central
shopping precincts
