Why is it significant?
The corner shop and residence situated at 58 Bastings Street, Northcote at the Andrew Street intersection was built in 1914 for the caretaker, William Lansdowne. It was occupied by a grocery for many years and has only recently been closed.
It is historically significant. It is historically significant (Criterion A) as a surviving substantially intact corner store and residence, recalling the period up until the mid twentieth century when stores of this kind met the needs of a pedestrian based society and were as a consequence once commonplace throughout the suburbs established up until that time. The survival of the timber posted verandah is rare (Criterion B). It compares with nearby premises, now closed at 72 South Crescent and 1 Thomson Street.
