Statement of Significance
What is significant?
The shop and residence, constructed by 1888, at 380 Burnley Street, Richmond is significant. This is a single storey late Victorian shop, one of a pair with no.378. The parapet has a moulded cornice above a stringcourse, each framed by vermiculated corbels inset with lions-heads. The semi-circular pediment has a small acroterion and is flanked by small scrolls, with small scrolls adjacent to the low piers at either end of the parapet that appear to have once supported orbs or urns. The shopfront has timber-framed windows with fixed display windows belong highlights, and panelled timber stallboards over a bluestone plinth. The window frames are slender, which is typical of the period, and the recessed central entry enhances the symmetry of the building.
Non-original alterations and additions to the building and signage are not significant.
How is it significant?
The shop and residence at 380 Burnley Street, Richmond is of local historic, architectural and aesthetic significance to the City of Yarra.
Why is it significant?
Historically, it is significant as one of the oldest surviving shops in Burnley Street and is associated with the beginnings of the transformation of the southern Burnley Street into a local shopping centre during the late nineteenth century. (Criterion A)
It is also significant as a representative example of a shop with typical late Victorian form and detailing including the parapet ornamentation and a timber-framed shopfront with stallboards and a recessed central entry below the pediment that emphasises the symmetry of the building. It is notable for its high degree of intactness, which includes the original shopfront. While many late Victorian shops survive in Richmond very few retain their original shopfront. (Criteria B, D & E)

380 Burnley Street - Physical Description 1
This is a single storey late Victorian shop, one of a pair with no.378. The parapet has a moulded cornice above a stringcourse, each framed by vermiculated corbels inset with lions-heads. The semi-circular pediment has a small acroterion and is flanked by small scrolls, with small scrolls adjacent to the low piers at either end of the parapet that appear to have once supported orbs or urns. The shopfront has timber-framed windows with fixed display windows belong highlights, and panelled timber stallboards over a bluestone plinth. The window frames are slender, which is typical of the period, and the recessed central entry enhances the symmetry of the building. Apart from the signage, door, and the air conditioning unit above, the shopfront appears to be original.
The adjoining shop to the north at no.378 has an identical parapet, but a non-original shopfront.
