Why is it significant?
The site is of historical significance as the location of a commercial and residential site on Bakery Hill during the years of the Victorian gold rush. The later nineteenth century shows the development and likely expansion of sites that are likely to have been capped following demolition in the 20th century. The site is of archaeological significance due to its potential to contain artefacts, deposits and features that relate to the establishment of commercial operations including the Exchange Hotel in the gold rush, and other later 19th-century activities.
