C Listing - Local Significance
STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE
The building appears to have been constructed for John Lowe in 1857. It remained in use as a butcher shop until at least 1875 when William Fynney was the owner. The open cross parapet is an unusual design for the period. It is of local significance.
POLICY/RECOMMENDATIONS:
Geelong Regional Planning Scheme
Removal of cantilevered verandah and restoration of a more sympathetic ground floor face would greatly enhance the character of this building.

DESCRIPTION
The two storey of bricks with a hipped roof clad in slates. The upper floor has four double-hung windows evenly spaced across the front elevation. The lower floor has been completely altered and a cantilevered verandah erected. The only decorative element that remains is the brick paparet with its open cross work. This is an unusual design possibly derived from the work of noted Geelong architect, John Young.
