Statement of Significance
Non-original alterations and additions, other than those specified above, are not significant.
Aesthetically, the building is a superior, intact example of a late Victorian commercial shop with a notable parapet. The parapet design is unique to the region and still remains largely intact, including bearing the Falconer name and establishment year. This building contributes significantly to the aesthetic and historic character of Korumburra and Radovick Street. (Criterion E)
The building is named for Mr Neil Falconer, who lived in Korumburra and surrounding areas as a notable building contractor. His final major commission prior to leaving the district was the Korumburra Primary School Infant Room in 1913 (see KOR-MI-PS). Through his work, and the building that bears his name, Mr Falconer has left a legacy of buildings throughout South Gippsland that significantly contribute to its history and aesthetics. (Criterion H)

FALCONER BUILDING (FORMER) - Physical Description 1
Falconer's Building at 13 Radovick Street, Korumburra is a single storey brick shop with a corrugated iron gable roof, a straight profile street verandah and a rendered brick parapet with a central pediment surmounted by a segmental cornice, scrolls and a spherical urn. The pediment is carried on piers from the verandah level and the straight sides of the parapet have side piers and a moulded capping.
The shopfront may date from the interwar period, but the brick side piers and stall and the verandah are recent.
