PRATTS WAREHOUSE - Physical Description 1
This warehouse was built for McDowall & Gray in 1869 to the design of J.A.Doane, Architect. Constructed in bluestone, the facades are detailed with pronounced stone quoins, voussoirs and projecting keystones above the doors and windows. The windows to the Camp Street elevation are partially infilled, possibly at a later date. Four corner chimneys are expressed as pedestals with two false chimney pedestals on the main street facade. A parapet connects the two chimneys on the Camp Street facade, and serves to balance the elevation.
The interior is substantially intact. The top and basement have intact whitewashed bluestone rubble walls. The ground floor rubble walls are painted.
The ground and top floors are supported by 250 mm square chamfer stooped timber columns, with carved capping plates to the under side of the beams. The top floor has four intact corner fireplaces and a clear roof span supported by trusses, with the underside of the slate exposed. The flooring throughout is original, and the basement has random basalt paving and is scund and dry.
This corner warehouse building resembles compatible warehouses in Melbourne which have all been demolished. The elegant design and fine detailing of the exterior and the substantially intact interior combine to produce a unique corner warehouse building. It forms a strong corner streetscape component.PRATTS WAREHOUSE - Integrity
