Why is it significant?
They are historically significant (Criterion A) for their capacity to demonstrate the late nineteenth century Boom period as the first phase in the permanent settlement of High Street, Northcote, the initial pattern of land use having been progressively swept away. They compare with a small number of similar establishments in this section of High Street whilst the survival of one of the shop fronts is an enhancing element.
