Former John Kelsal Wool Warehouse - Physical Description 1
This building would appear to have been constructed in the 1870's for John Kelsal as a wool warehouse.
The facade is notable for its conspicuous curved corner with a large pediment.
It is constructed on a rough dressed base which becomes a basement floor at the lower end of the site. The arched windows and doors form an arcade on both facades at ground floor which is continuous where it faces Lydiard Street.
The first floor has panelled window surrounds of Regency character, with simple cornice hoods; there is a blind window on the curved corner. The parapet is plain with a sweep rising to a segmental pediment section on the corner. The removal of the presumed original owners name and business, formerly executed in raised letters, gives this a rather strange proportion.
The building is in rather poor condition but is substantially intact, apart from some windows and doors, and raised lettering on the parapet.
This building is an interesting and striking design and because of this and its position on a critical street intersection, is of major streetscape importance.Former John Kelsal Wool Warehouse - Integrity
