Statement of Significance
Architecturally, altered and expressive of two eras but successful as a streetscape termination. Historically, given the two eras, it is expressive of the public building status it once possessed, the boom era speculation of its first form and thus a slender link with the renowned Mr. Roberts.

Shop and Residence at 28 (once part 26-30) Murray Street - Physical Description 1
Today the building is a combination of two eras, both far-removed chronologically but nevertheless mutually sympathetic. The dominant feature of the original design remains in the form of the three-arch upper facade although the parapet from this era has been severely treated. At ground the bank facade is bland but respectful of the tripartite nature of the floor above. Architrave mouldings from the first period are distinctive and those from the second, bland.

External Integrity
Given the changes already outlined, the parapet entablature has been removed, the upper level stucco also.

Streetscape
The focus of a long vista up Ballarat Street, itself a repository of individually notable buildings. Its two storey form is dominant but its upper arcade suggests some transparency and accentuates the European townscape character of that part of the precinct.
