BALLARAT CLUB - Physical Description 1
This building, constructed in 1888 to the design of C.D.Figgis and Tappin, Gilbert & Denehy, is of an unusual and striking composition. Originally there was a simple tower (visible in an early photo) surmounting the eastern end of the facade, but this has since been removed without disturbing the harmony of the facade.
The composition is very flamboyant. The curved Byzantine arch of the pediment over the entrance bay is very unusual as are the heavy face brick columns supported on urns. The projecting bay has finely moulded window heads to the ground floor. The balustrading at three levels serves to unify the composition.
The interior is substantially intact, and the stairwell and billiard room are of considerable note.
This building is of importance for the unusual external design elements and the relatively intact interior. The juxtaposition of eastern motifs (the curved arch and heavy columns) with high Victorian boom style architecture make this building unique and one of utmost importance. The building is in good condition and provides an important streetscape element.BALLARAT CLUB - Integrity
