Statement of Significance
Additional Information Added Informally by Heritage Advisor, 27 July 2017
This shop was built in 1892-93 for Charles Hyatt Newbury to a design by the Geelong architects, Watts and Durran. A brick bakery oven appears to have been built at this time as bread was being sold on the premises in 1893. On Newbury's death in 1894, the property passed to Samuel Newbury. He leased the shop to Norman Crilly, hairdresser.
The building was the second shop on the site. In the south-east corner, a timber dwelling and shop was built in 1883-84 for Canadian-born William James Heyward. This building forms a separate heritage citation.

STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE
162 Bellerine Street has architectural and historic significance of at least local level. It is an unusual example of small scale commercial architecture, and has a high degree of integrity. The building retains its characteristic form, siting and notable details including stepped parapet, timber and galss shop front, and front fence. The stable and yard adjacent to the shop has a high degree of integrity also and is a rare example of this type of outbuilding and yard surviving in the Geelong region. The bulding had a historical association of at least forty-five years with Norman Crilly, a hairdresser who worked from this address.

Shop - Physical Description 1
162 Bellerine Street is a single storey parapet building which has a high degree of integrity and a number of notable shopfront details. The stepped parapet has simplified classical motifs including a timber pediment with scrolls, entablature and timber pilasters. It is rare for timber parapets to shopfronts to survive today. Below this the glass shop front retains the original timber frames, door, and decorative panels. The corrugated iron roof has small ventilators. The site includes a yard, shop ands stable building. It is also rare for a yard and stable to remain associated with the shop. The stables are timber and have an iron lean to on the south side. The west wall of the stables structure is brick and continues around the boundaries of the site. The yard is difficult to view due to the recent installation of a corrugated iron shed. The fence at the front of the site appears to be timber of considerable age.
