SHOPS - Physical Description 1
The building at 8-10 Bair Street, Leongatha is a pair of wide shops located under a substantial and decorative rendered parapet with a central triangular pediment. The parapet is distinguished by its decorative solid plastering featuring four projecting piers, cornices with dentils, panels with raised moulds and bosses and the pediment surmounted by an acroterion. The urns which once capped the four piers have since been removed.
A sympathetic and simple new post verandah has been added, and, although neither shopfront is original, the interwar shopfront on the right is a good example of its type. The shops may also retain some original interior detail behind the later additions of false ceilings and partitions.
