Statement of Significance
This shop and residence is a typical example of rendered commercial row buildings constructed in Melbourne in the late 19th century. The first floor decorative verandah is a distinctive feature.

262 High Street - Physical Description 1
262 High Street is a typical shop and residence, with an upper-level balcony. The cast-iron posts, friezes and balustrading are intact, as are the segmented arched pediments and vermiculated parapet piers. The original parapet urns must have been removed. The shop front has been altered, and the original cast iron verandah replaced with a cantilevered awning. Obtrusive signage and an unsympathetic colour scheme diminish the building's appearance. It is an isolated and relatively original element in the High Street streetscape.
