Intactness Good Fair Poor Existing Heritage Status HV AHC NT History The pharmacy at 116 High Street is understood to have formed part of the Kangaroo Flat post office. The original date of construction has not been established but is assumed to have been c.1880s- 1890s. The post office was located on the north side of the property, with a residence, which had a dedicated entrance, to the south. A timber rear addition comprised the kitchen and other amenities. The post office is recorded as having had an open fire and timber counter. A cast iron drinking fountain was located in front of the building. 1 In 1907-08 the postmistress was a Mrs M A Davidson; it was later run by a Mrs Robinson. Subsequent postal managers included Miss Hocking (1930s), Miss 1

The property remains in use as a pharmacy. Victoria’s Framework of Historical Themes Victoria’s themes and sub-themes: 5.8: Working 8.3: Providing health and welfare services Description & Integrity The single storey building is located on the west side of High Street, with an asphalt-paved car park fronting Dunlop Lane at the rear. The building comprises three components: the original front component (the long-standing High Street shop), a large gabled addition to its rear, and a more recent awning attached to the addition. The shop front on the east of the building (facade) has a parapet with a curved pediment with recessed tympanum, and dogs tooth cornice returning on the side elevations. The pitched roof is clad with corrugated sheet metal. As built, the wall facing High Street is believed to have been exposed brick, which is now overpainted. The facade has large modern openings, including double doors and irregularly-spaced display windows, although the cambered brick headers of the original windows and door can still in part be discerned above these openings. Original sandstone quoins are also still evident. There is a bull-nosed verandah with faux ‘1880s’ lace around the timber posts and a neo- Federation frame-frieze. The addition abutting the original building component (to the rear) is fronted on its north side by a stepped back wall in umber brown brick, with a side door and topped by pitched roofing carried on gables fronted with cement sheet. Behind that is a more recent awning addition with large signage panel and entry ramp facing Dunlop Lane. The additions, which have not been dated, have steel deck or corrugated galvanised steel roof cladding. The building appears to be in generally sound condition. Comparative Analysis The original building was similar to single-storey parapet-fronted shops all over Victoria, built from the later nineteenth century into the 1920s, with various frontage forms and of various materials. They were generally marked by symmetrical shopfronts, or had the door offset simply to one side, and the parapets on these shops often had a recess or panel set out for signage. The quoin usage was familiar to that found elsewhere in the Bendigo-Castlemaine area, although usually on more imposing buildings such as the various post offices or Castlemaine Market. The later verandah, with its inauthentic combination of Federation and 1880s elements, is an example of recent verandah additions, often found on historic shopfronts. Assessment Against Criteria Amended Heritage Victoria Criteria Criterion A: Importance to the course, or pattern, of the City of Greater Bendigo’s cultural history. The pharmacy building at 116 High Street, Kangaroo Flat, c. 1880s-90s, is of historical interest as a surviving historic commercial building in the township’s main street. It is believed to have formed part of the Kangaroo Flat post office and quarters and has been used as a pharmacy for at least 60 years. Criterion B: Possession of uncommon, rare or endangered aspects of the City of Greater Bendigo’s cultural history. N/A Criterion C: Potential to yield information that will contribute to an understanding of the City of Greater Bendigo’s cultural history. 2
