Appraisal
A commercial building representing an integral component of the twentieth-century built heritage of Blackwater with the architectural value of the composition suggested by such attributes as the compact rectilinear plan form; the expeditious corrugated-iron surface finish; and the veranda-like overhanging roofline.
