General notes:
The shop and dwelling at 441 Spencer Street was constructed c1868. The Sands & McDougall directories seem to indicate that there was an earlier building on the site, occupied by Nankivill Fanning & Co. stores, but described as vacant in 1865 and 1866 and then not listed at all in 1867 and 1868. In 1869 the building reappears, occupied by John Crabtree. In 1872 the building was occupied by John Andrews, a tailor, and then from 1873 until 1890 by a number of hairdressers and tobacconists.It is a double storey rendered Victorian shop, with a splayed corner and a corrugated galvanised steel roof. The plinth is of bluestone. The entrance is located on the corner, and the narrow Spencer Street facade has a shopfront, now altered.It is of local aesthetic and historical interest, demonstrative of the early phase of development of the suburb in the mid-nineteenth century. Despite alterations, the overall nineteenth century form of the shop is intact.
