Why is it significant?
The Shop and Residence at 10 Grant Street, Bacchus Marsh are of historical importance for demonstrating a prosperous period in the history of the Bacchus Marsh Shire in the late 19th and early 20th centuries stimulated by farming, industry and closer settlement. Along with other shops and associated residences in Grant Street from this period, this property contributes to a group of significant buildings that represent the early commercial development along Grant Street, stimulated by new residential development in the nearby Maddingley. The shop and residence is of historical significance for its associations with local plumber William Horder who originally had the house and shop built in 1904.
The Shop and Residence at 10 Grant Street, Bacchus Marsh are of aesthetic significance as a locally rare example of a combined detached shop and residence building type. Constructed in 1904, the residence is a late example of the Victorian Italianate style. The shop with its rendered parapet is more in keeping with the Edwardian style.
