Statement of Significance

The row of four shops with dwellings above at nos. 1033-39 Mount Alexander Road were built by the developer, C.G. Ward, in 1926-27. They are representative buildings of their type and period, recalling the period during which the Essendon North shopping centre was established to service its suburban hinterland.
