Glenroy Library - Physical Description 1
Glenroy Library consists of a single storey masonry building constructed in face clinker brick and off-form beton brut concrete. The planning of the building is redolent of twentieth century classicism, with the rectangular brick building wrapped within with a colonnaded arcade of concrete with basket-handle arches and a parapet concealing a low hipped roof. Each column projects slightly over the parapet, and the colonnade wraps around the entire building. Offset to the left-most point of the main facade (as seen from Pascoe Vale Road) is the glazed main entrance, and a high-set ribbon window extends across the centre of the facade. A series of signs are above the entrance and set into the asphalt, which post-date the construction of the building. Poles have been attached to five of the columns with support vertical banners. A small substation appears set into the north-eastern corner of the building.
Glenroy Library is on busy road, separated by a wide asphalt footpath and small street plantings.
The concrete has areas of slight discolouration and evidence of repair, otherwise the building is in good condition overall.Glenroy Library - Integrity
- Signage on facades and set into asphalt
- Glazed entrance, which appears to have involved some alteration to brickwork
- Banner poles on facade*
- Metal capping on parapet
- Solar panels on western side of roof (not visible from ground level)
On the most part, the building has undergone cosmetic changes and retains a high level of integrity.
