John Daniel's Ironmongery Warehouse (former) - Physical Description 1
DESCRIPTION
Still possessing the delicate timber detailing (gable fascia) which is often absent from the usually otherwise austere warehouse buildings, this store also demonstrates the use of both basalt (walls) and local sandstone (dressing). It also retains the broad wagon archway, upper-level loading doors, gantry and arched lower openings. Where the basalt is coursed regular and rough-axed, the sandstone is left quarry-faced, accentuating the power of the design and the utility of the building type.
External Integrity
Parapets have been added to the side, along with box-sumps and down pipes and opening details (loading doors) have changed in part. The adjoining warehouses cover the fine stone-work at the corners.
Streetscape
Relates closely to the store at the rear of 200 Moorabool Street and at a distance, to Strong's factory in Baylie Place North.
