Statement of Significance
What is significant?
The Victorian rendered brick shop and residence, constructed c.1895, at 435 High Street, Preston is significant. The upper part of the facade is intact, retaining its original parapet that has a central panel flanked by pressed cement balusters. There are two cornices between the parapet and the heads of a pair of double-hung sash windows. Pilasters flank the window openings. The corners of the building, on the upper level, also have pilasters; the one to the south has been partially removed, probably when the adjoining single-storey Modernist shop was erected.
Later alterations and additions including the ground floor metal-framed shop window and cantilevered awning that extends across the facade between the ground and first floors are not significant.

The shop and residence at 435 High Street, Preston is of local historic significance to Darebin City.
