Statement of Significance

J & ME LOWNDES BAKERY & RESIDENCE - Physical Description 1
This brick parapeted shop has a timber post verandah, attached to the corner of a gabled Bungalow style red brick residence; both are sited on the south-east corner of Ritchie Street.
The parapet has a faded sign, `JE & ME Lowndes P/L Baker' and the shopfronts appear original. The house is set close to the street, has a bayed window and a small porch-verandah with a corrugated iron skillion roof, brick piers and paired timber posts. The gable end is clad with fibrous cement sheet, with the cover straps at the joints providing a modest half-timbered look. There is no front fence to the house but a simple square-top picket is used beside the shop.
J & ME LOWNDES BAKERY & RESIDENCE - Physical Conditions
The shop and residence are externally near original except for the probable removal of the house front fence.
