How is it significant?
The shops with upper level residences at 112-120 Puckle Street, Moonee Ponds are historically and aesthetically important to the City of Moonee Valley.
Why is it significant?
They are historically important (Criterion A) in that they demonstrate a period of change in the life of the Puckle Street centre and the Moonee Ponds Methodist Church, the shops being ornamented in a way which is not unecclesiastical in manner, the ribbed ornamentation being of interest in this respect and comparing with other examples of G.B. Leith's work (Criterion H), including the Camperdown Methodist Church.
They are aesthetically important also on these accounts whilst the exploitation of the Arts and Crafts idiom to create a stylistic reference to the ecclesiastical origins of the site is highly successful, imparting character to Puckle Street and shedding light on the adaptability of the Arts and Crafts ideal. (Criterion E)
