BATES BUILDING - Physical Description 1
The Bates Building is a two storey red brick building. Walls are of face brick with unpainted rendered dressings a cornice which runs beneath a parapet with a central rendered panel which probably once bore the name of the building. The first floor facade has four arched openings with round-headed timber-framed double-hung sash windows. There is a string course at impost level, and the windows are separated by half-rendered Corinthian pilasters with Greek key motifs at mid-level. Rosettes decorate the spandrels. The ground floor shopfronts have been completely altered. The building has a cantilevered verandah, and the remnants of an aluminium-framed illuminated sign projects from the parapet.
The first floor apparently retains evidence of the large dance hall with a small stage at the east end, as well as remnants of oriental-inspired-murals, which date from the 1930s.
