The former Hayes Stores, constructed by Mr Kennedy in 1891 at the corner of Hughes and Roughead Streets, Leongatha.
Why is it significant?
The former Hayes Stores are of local historic and aesthetic significance to South Gippsland Shire.
Historically, they are believed to be the oldest commercial buildings remaining in Leongatha and are among the oldest in the Shire. They are highly important in demonstrating the basic nature of the first phase of commercial development of the town that occurred at the time of the completion of the South Eastern Railway, and how this initially occurred on both sides of the railway line. Because of their high level of integrity, they have considerable potential to illustrate these aspects of the region's cultural heritage. (AHC criteria - A.4 and D.2)
Aesthetically, they are recognisably early shops with simple form and detail that is unique in the Shire, which are also notable for their rare brick construction. (AHC criteria - B.2, E.1 and F.1) |
