The corner building was occupied by Bray’s Dispensary, Baptiste’s Paris hair cutting shop and Wood Bakery. The other building at the time consisted of more shops these included a dressmaker and milliner operated by Mrs. McDowell. There was also a barber and part time palm reader operated by Professor Curtain. Holtermann’s Corner was the biggest inland shopping complex in N.S.W.

After the gold ran out and Hill End’s population declined from 8000 people to a few hundred the buildings were left unoccupied and started to deteriorate

Over the past 15 years the premises have undergone major renovations. This coming Easter Holtermann’s Corner Stores will re-open. It now consists of the following:
• Bakery – The beautiful smell of freshly baked bread will bring your tastebuds alive
• Cake Shop – We will be selling all the products made in the bakery to you
