This wooden building was originally constructed as a bakery for Mr J. Turner in early 1897. Just prior to the building being constructed, in December 1896, this portion of the section was subdivided by owner C. O. Smith and sold to Mr Turner.
Turner only operated the bakery for a few years, before selling the business and premises to the Moa Farmers Union in early 1900 for £900 - The Moa Farmers Union already occupied two neighbouring shops and continued to operate Turner's bakery business under their own name.
The building remained a bakery for many years - in the 1990s it was occupied by Maxwell's Bakery.
When constructed, the front section of the building was a single story shop, and the back portion was two-storied (probably living quarters). In the 1940s, another story was added to the front section.
The building is located within a precinct with a number of 1870s-1900s commercial buildings.
