    Shop (Duplicate) - Physical Description 1

    This building was constructed as Lister and Angel's wholesale store in 1868; the architect being J.A.Doane. It was constructed without a street verandah, but this was added by 1894. The verandah had a wide balustrade or hoarding, but it has been subsequently removed. This two storey building with a basement floor is constructed on a rough dressed masonry base which becomes a full storey at the rear of the site. The ground floor has been unsympathetically altered on the Lydiard Street frontage, but on Mair street it is intact and comprises a series of arched window openings with vermiculated dressings and masks on the key stones. The first floor is intact on both facades and has been treated as a piano nobile with tabernacle windows with triangular pediments; ionic pilasters divide the bays. It has a simple dentillated cornice on the parapet.
    
    This building is of major importance, although somewhat disfigured by the modern shopfront and cantilevered awning, which has precluded its recommendation for the Historic Buildings Register. Reconstruction of the original Lydiard Street ground floor facade and/or the verandah is strongly recommended. The building is of major streetscape importance, particularly because of its critical corner location; there are three other buildings of importance at this intersection.
