🏭 Heritage-listed building
Built: c.1870 · NIAH rating: Regional
Located on a prominent corner site, this substantial commercial building makes a distinct impression on the streetscape displaying a wide variety of finishes including well-executed red brick and contrasting simple rendering. Of particular note is a substantial and elaborate corner-sited doorcase which displays a great deal of decorative detail and greatly enhances the building's positive contribution to the streetscape. Capel Street itself was laid out by Humphrey Jervis to link the new Essex Bridge (now Grattan Bridge) (1678) to the Great North Road. Originally a fashionable residential street of houses, it became largely commercialized around 1800. It frames an important vista to the south on axis with City Hall.
