Statement of Significance
- Notable steps at the side
- Shallow strong course and upper floor fenestration
Aesthetically, this building remains one of the most significant landmarks in the Shire and originally held space for four commercial properties. This imposing two storey building significantly contributes to the historic and aesthetic character of Bridge Street and Commercial Street. Although now painted and adapted, the brick building is still a key feature of the town due to its location on a main thoroughfare through Korumburra. (Criterion E)

SHOPS AND RESIDENCES - Physical Description 1
The "Top of the Town" building at 33 Bridge Street, Korumburra is a substantial two storey brick terrace of originally four shops with a skillion roof to the upper floor resulting in a very high parapet at the front and notable steps at the sides. Although a dominant built mass, its high rendered facade is almost devoid of relief except for shallow string course and the upper floor fenestration. A new bullnose verandah has been added. There is evidence of an earlier bracketed timber verandah which suggests a construction date of post 1910.
The "Top of the Town" makes an important contribution to the historic streetscape at the intersection of Bridge Road with Mine Road and Commercial Street, which also includes the two storey Austral Hotel, and former Post & Telegraph Office (both opposite), and adjacent Masonic Lodge.
