Pair of shops - Physical Description 1
Description and integrity
No. 67-69 Bridge Street Bendigo is a long allotment with a cranked plan, located on the west side of Bridge Street, and with a secondary frontage to Uley Street. The brick shop pair addresses Bridge Street and features bichrome brick pilasters with arched brick caps and recessed shopfronts on low timber plinths. The timber entry doors with highlight windows are inset with timber-lined soffits; one door is four-panelled while the other is a modern replacement. The upper section of the shopfronts is of timber boarding and conceals a skillion roof clad in corrugated sheet metal. Timber frames to the upper section may have originally contained shop signage. While timber-framed, the shop windows appear possibly to have been modified/replaced. The stepped return walls are of red brick, with two red brick chimneys with cream brick corbels. A skillion roofed brick addition has been constructed to the rear, and a variety of lean-to structures are located in the rear yard.
A c.1955 painted advertisement for Cohns lemonade is on the north elevation (the Cohn Brothers ice works and brewery is located nearby on Water Street), indicating that the north elevation has been exposed since at least that date.9
