1622-1624 High Street, GLEN IRIS - Physical Description 1
"This trio of two-storey shops appear to have been constructed as a single development when first constructed although building plans held in the City of Stonnington Archives suggest that it was constructed in stages. 1620 was the work of noted local builder and designer L.T. Alway for Mr Gorrie. No planswere located for 1622 or 1624 but they are almost certainly the work of the same designer. Again, the broken pediment device found elsewhere in the group allows the Marseilles tiled roof to form an awning above the first floor windows. The parapets in this group are more elaborately modelled, recalling the sinuous curves of the Queen Anne style. Individual tenancies are defined at first floor level by rectangular sections of brickwork, constructed in a manner that recalls quoins. The shop front at 1620 appears to be substantially intact although new glazed tiles have been installed. Shopfronts at 1622 and 1624 are original but have been painted"
