This is a photo of number 3 Main Street at Maldon.

The morning light on the building and the mostly empty beer bottle on the footpath caught my attention.

This building has been many things over the years. It was once part of the Garage and Service Station on the corner of Main and High Street. It has also been accommodation, a fruit shop, a second hand goods store, an antique shop and a vintage wares shop.

Now the home of The Little Red Bookshop, the building at 67 to 69 High Street Maldon has some rich history.

The building comprises 2 Shops and an Apartment behind the original façade

This historic freehold was first built on land first owned by J.C. Hawkey in 1854 and then the current property was built by local entrepreneurs the Hornsby’s in 1900.

The shops have been together as one shop, then separated into two shops and now is one shop again. Several things have been housed at the location including accommodation, retail shops including an antique shop, teddy bear shop, book shop and second hand goods shops.

Robinson’s House on High Street Maldon is unusual architecture for Maldon as this gothic style is not often seen in a house in central Victoria. It is believed that the house was built in 1864.

The house is a beautiful example of the historic buildings in Maldon and each building has its own character.
