SHOP - Physical Description 1
Lucan Street leads north of the Bendigo city centre and is today characterised by a mix of different eras of development. The Anne Caudle Centre, part of Bendigo Health and formerly the Bendigo Benevolent Asylum dominates the street as a key historic place. Commercial premises at 105 and 89-91 are reminders of the commercial function of the street.
105 Lucan Street has no setback from the street and is a Victorian style commercial building featuring an asymmetrical frontage of central door with two windows of unequal size. A parapet with recessed panel and a pediment with console brackets conceals the roof behind. The wall has been painted, however the arches to each of the openings have remained as unpainted red rubbed bricks with tuck pointing and terra cotta voussoirs (keystones). The brickwork to the front wall appears to have been rebuilt at the upper level as there is a change in the type of brick and pointing above the springing point of the arches. Each opening has a double rebate in the brickwork, giving the appearance of a deeply recessed window or door. The base wall has been rendered and painted, although this is likely to be a later addition to conceal damage at this lower level. It appears that the larger window may have been replaced with one of smaller height; however the timber sash frame visible beneath the later metal screen is of fine glazing bars in a Victorian shopfront pattern. The front door is four panelled with a top light above. Although having had a number of alterations, 105 Lucan Street still has the appearance of a Victorian commercial building and is an important streetscape element in Lucan Street.
