The West Burleigh Store, constructed 1935, is historically important in demonstrating the development of the Gold Coast as one of the State’s major tourist destinations. It is a substantially intact, rare, 1930s general store with attached residence. It demonstrates early aspects of retailing on the Gold Coast, including the practice where storekeepers combined their shop and place of residence. The store has special association with the life and work of Mr A. Fletcher, many former and existing residents and tourists during the decades that it operated as a general store. The store has retained many original external and internal features and fabric. The building has aesthetic qualities as an important part of the streetscape.
