Hooper's Store - Physical Description 1
Hooper's Brunswick store is a two storey steel-framed building with red brick cladding. The first storey facade has a series of arched openings between brick piers, with rendered arch mouldings, pier bases and string course at impost level. A rendered spandrel sits between timber-framed windows, many of which have been painted over with advertising. The parapet is of face brick, with a deep moulded cornice, a narrower moulded string course at the top, and rendered orbs on the pier tops. Curved wrought iron ties connect the cantilevered verandah with the brick piers.
The original verandah has been replaced and major internal alterations were undertaken in 1989 to incorporate an internal arcade of shops. The first floor remains substantially intact externally.
Key Architectural Elements: ornate Edwardian facade with face red brick wall and tall arched window openings
rendered dressings
curved wrought iron ties to verandah
Conservation Guidelines: reinstate shopfronts to original design

reinstate matching colour scheme to all facades
Principal Historic Themes: 19th and early 20th century retailing
Context: One of the most elaborate of the Victorian and Edwardian commercial premises that are a feature of Sydney Road.
Comparative Analysis: The colonnaded facade of Hoopers store is most closely comparable to roughly contemporary Dimmy's Store in Richmond.Heritage Study and Grading
