Shops

Statement of Significance

This row of shops and attached house are some of the original commercial development in Mosman Park. They have survived with their basic form fairly intact. A good example of the main street, strip shopping format typical of its era, and one that continues to be commercially viable despite shopping centre development. This is the focal building in a streetscape of small shops.
