    Prahran Hotel - Physical Description 1

    (as assessed from the street)

    The Prahran Hotel's east and north elevations were completely refaced in 1940, using brown and cream glazed tiles to the dados, plus cream brick and render to the upper levels. Composed as a series of broad streamlined render bands, the two-storey facade is typical of the Streamlined Moderne style (or Art Deco) and made more effective by its corner site, allowing three-dimensional expression of this cubist medium. Chevron pattern friezes trim the parapet and a stepped brick motif holds the 1940 date, in bas-relief, at the corner. The corner bar entry is as typical of the inter-war period as the Victorian-era and the residential entrance is recessed at the west end, with original terrazzo flooring and bullnose brick corners to the reveal and some sand-blasted glazing (`HH' Highbridge Hotel motif).

    Viewed from the south, the Victorian-era roof forms and upper walls are evident. The single-storey rear wings are not expressive of either of the two main eras
