SHOPS - Physical Description 1
The two storey shopfront at 476-478 Toorak Road is chiefly of note for its Old English character and the fine detailing of its materials. This is particularly evident in the timber framed oriel to the first floor, with its leadlight windows, and the carefully executed tapestry brickwork to the ground floor.
The rather stylised symmetry of the composition is typical for commercial premises in the mode, as opposed to the studied asymmetry mandatory for residential work. The half timbering of the first floor, the terracotta shingle roof and the central gable with weathervane are all emblematic of the Old English and its Arts and Crafts, vernacular influences. The facade remains substantially intactSHOPS - Local Historical Themes
