Don Bosco Youth Centre - Physical Description 1
The Don Bosco Hostel is a two storey red brick building with a tiled transverse gabled roof. The facade is dominated by a series of arched windows, mostly paired, which runs the length of the building at first floor level. The parapet, which is interrupted by three pediments with brick corbelling, is topped with Spanish tiles. Significant alterations have occurred at ground floor level. The simple rendered arched entrance is flanked on each side by a pair of original arched windows. However, to the south of the facade shopfronts have been created beneath a cantilevered awning, and to the north, the window openings have been squared off, topped with a long concrete lintel, and infilled with glass bricks to match an addition to the north of the building (c. 1970s-80s).
