Warehouse (Former) - Physical Description 1
This warehouse, in the Renaissance revival mode, was constructed in c.1861-1862 to the design of C.D. Cuthbert for Robert Dunn. A two storey construction, it consists of a handsome b1uestone base with arched openings and an equally handsome cement rendered piano nobile; all of, which is regrettably painted. The windows to the upper floor are elegantly hooded and ba1ustraded above a ground floor in rough dressed stone interrupted by 2 courses of smoother dressing. Two arched windows flank the central entrance - a three centred arch with a scroll as the keystone.
All the ground floor openings are surrounded by a rough dressed concave reveal, an effect greatly diminished by the copper awnings. The interior has been altered, but some original elements survive.
This building is an example of an elegantly detailed Renaissance revival, warehouse. It has no surviving parallels in Ballarat or elsewhere in Victoria. The building is in good condition and is relatively intact. The well defined' rusticated ground floor sets off the rendered Renaissance piano nobile first floor, resulting in a pleasing composition unique to the State of Victoria.Warehouse (Former) - Integrity
