Wh y i s i t s i g n i f i c a n t ?
The Church of England Shops at 112 and 114 Main Street, Bacchus Marsh of local historical significance for its associations with the development of the commercial centre of Bacchus Marsh.
It is a rare surviving example of early shops in the Main Street, indicating the early Twentieth Century appearance of the Bacchus Marsh town centre.
The Church of England Shops at 112 and 114 Main Street, Bacchus Marsh of architectural significance as examples of Edwardian brick shops containing key original features including the overall form with parapet roof to the shops, front skillion verandah and rear hipped wings. The shop at 114 Main Street is important for retaining its original corner shop front configuration and the parapet is
significant for its particularly
elaborate Edwardian style brick decoration.
