General notes:
A late Edwardian period shop and dwelling, constructed on the land previously used by the Benevolent Asylum. The detailing incorporates simple brick and render features typical for 1920s construction. The shop front has been removed and a porch created as part of a residential conversion.This block of Victoria Street was subdivided after the closure of the Benevolent Asylum and contains buildings constructed between 1914 and 1925. The scale, use and style is consistent along this block of Victoria Street. This shop sits in a residential context, but has been sited opposite earlier shops. The style, scale, form, siting and history are consistent with that for the street.This building makes a contribution to a group of similar period, and style. The high value of the collective group in this street reinforces the value of this individual building.
