Statement of Significance
Non-original alterations and additions, other than those specified above, including the suspended awning that replaced the original street verandah, are not significant.
Aesthetically, these shops are a significant example of the Federation commercial style with advanced design elements. The styling of the parapets with distinctive brick and render contrasts, and the intact original shopfront at 7 Commercial Street, makes a significant contribution to the historic and aesthetic character of Commercial Street and Korumburra more broadly. (Criterion E)

SHOPS - Physical Description 1
The building at 7-9 Commercial Street, Korumburra is a pair of brick Federation shops with a parapet concealing a skillion roof behind. Notable elements include the parapet, which is distinguished by its division into three (over two shops) by pilasters with barrel caps and contrasting brick and render areas with a scrolled render frieze at the top, and the original shopfront to No. 7.
The shops are part of group of Federation era commercial buildings that include 'Sutcliffe's Buildings' at nos. 19-25 (q.v.).
The original street verandah has been replaced with a suspended awning which has more recent and awkwardly placed timber posts with a ladder frame frieze below.Heritage Study and Grading
