Statement of Significance
LOCAL SIGNIFICANCE - INCLUDED IN HERITAGE PRECINCT
STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE
Apart from the ground floor of the front facade the buildings and accompanying sheds have an excellent degree of integrity. It was built for the well known Geelong grocer, Lloyd Hooper and is one on the earliest of his stores. It is of local significance.
POLICY RECOMMENDATION: GRPS - A more sympathetic ground floor front facade and careful removal of the paint from the brickwork would greatly enhance the character of this building.
