What is significant?

BRIDGE DAIRY & RESIDENCE (FORMER) - Physical Description 1
The former Bridge Retail Dairy and residence, constructed in 1944 and 1946, are simple wartime verancular structures with hipped terra cotta tiled roofs and rendered concrete block walls. The placement at the corners and form of the steel framed windows with their horizontal emphasis is in the Moderne style. The built in verandah appears to be original, as does the low brick boundary fence.
The dairy is typically a secondary structure located behind the house, in this case facing the highway to the side. It has an industrial sliding door and high level windows.
The former Retail Dairy and residence occupy a prominent corner site and are part of a group of buildings (including the former Railway Cottages on the opposite corner) that contribute to the historic character of this area, which forms one of the key entry points to the historic Long and Ogilvy Street precincts.
