Statement of Significance
C Listed - Local Significance
Architecturally, a simple early stone store which is comparable with more sophisticated Melbourne and Geelong examples, but it is built of basalt and recognizably of an early date. As a building type and wall/materials combination, it is one of three stores in the city still visibly of basalt construction.
Historically, with 55A Gheringhap Street, it is from Ryrie Streets commercial beginnings and is complementary in its use to the former Hunt grocery shop and residence a nearby bulk storage facility.

Shop & Offices - Physical Description 1
A large gabled roof, coursed basalt rubble store, this building appears to extend across the rear of both 92-94 Ryrie Street and is a typically setback from the R.O.W.
Harvey Dann's newer brick stores adjoin on the east, complementing this store by their similar scale and gabled profile. Its only opening doors are segment-arched and set off-centre. A timber fixing plate extends from the door to the east at a lower height. External Integrity Corrugated iron clad sheds and a fence appear to be additions, the crimped steel sheeting being definitely so. The gable fascia is likely to have been more decorative see Baylie Place stores. Streetscape Close to the contemporary 55A Gheringhap Street also part of an Hunts early grocery and adjoining the Edwardian era former Harvey Dann stores this building is typically fronting a loading lane, see Baylie Place. Its Edwardian era Ryrie Street elevation complements the notable commercial streetscape.
