SHOP & RESIDENCE - Physical Description 1
The house and shop at No.92 Main Street are constructed of brick with low pitched hipped tile roof. The house, originally U shaped, was on the same original block as No. 45 James Street, which was built at the same time. Like that house, this one has a Doric column within what is now an inset front porch, but may have originally been the main entry. There is also a rear porch under the north corner of the house, also supported on a Doric column. The house was built in red brick, now painted at the front, with timber framed double hung windows.
The shop was created as an extension to what would have been the main wall of the house, from the driveway side to the edge of the porch, then widening out to overlap the porch itself. The roof was extended out to create a continuous hipped roof over the whole complex, which was probably all tiled at this time. The roof over the shop extends out over the front with a generous eave to create a kind of verandah. The entry to the house is now via a narrow porch supported on two Doric columns along the driveway. The shop portion may also have been in red brick but is now painted.
The shopfront has a distinctive wide, shallow bay window in three parts on a brick base, The window is timber framed, running from the underside of the eave, with the glass slanting slightly inwards to the base. The door is separately expressed within a brick frame, up two steps. It is an unpainted timber framed glass door with a push bar formed of a pair of slanting chrome metal bars, and is probably original to 1953.
