Statement of Significance
B Listed- Regional Significance
STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE
Built between 1850 and 1852 it appear to have been a shop and residence for almost all of its 135 years; the original owner was John Goff. It has a high degree of integrity and it is of regional significance.
POLICY/RECOMMENDATIONS:
National Estate Register, GRPS
The degree of integrity of this building is such that only a small amount of work would be needed to restore it externally. The design of sympathetic advertising signs, the removal of the cantilever verandah and its possible replacement with a verandah of more appropriate design would enhance this building, as would the careful removal of paint from the brickwork.

DESCRIPTION
260 Pakington Street comprises a corner site made up of a brick shop and four rooms, together with some timber outbuildings and lean-tos. The brick section is basically square in form with one corner splayed at the entry. The corrugated iron roof is hipped. The chimney is brick with some corbelling. There have been some alterations to window and door openings however the original timber shop front with paneled timber stall boards have been retained. The shop front are framed in a pair of timber pilasters. The shop front is vertically divided by mullions of the 'lamb tongue' profile with a half round glazing bar at mid-height. Alterations have included a cantilevered metal verandah, replacement of the front doors and painting of the face brickwork, however, the building is remarkably unchanged externally.
