Shop - Physical Description 2
The shop at 490 Sydney Road, Coburg is a two-storey commercial premises in the Victorian boom-era style. The building is of brick construction but has been rendered. The ground floor elevation has been altered since original construction with a modern steel and glass shop front provided. The awning has also been replaced, with the likely removal of pressed metal underside. However, the second storey elevation comprises a large Diocletian arch with a recessed balcony and timber panel roof. The parapet conceals the roofline and is fitted with intact urns and original blue-glazed tiles which have since been partially painted over. The facade inside the balcony has been rendered using the harling technique.
The landscape surrounding the commercial property is exclusively commercial, with this portion of Sydney Road being the main commercial precinct of Coburg just south of the major intersection with Bell Street.
