Description
72 Vicar Lane and 9 Currer Street is a building designed by Eli Milnes in 1864, serving as a home trade warehouse block. It occupies a prominent corner site with Currer Street and features three storeys along with a semi-basement on Vicar Lane. The building has tall sandstone "brick" palazzo elevations with ashlar dressings, including an ashlar-faced bowed corner and rock-faced coursing at the semi-basement level. The long facade rises as it ascends the hill towards Currer Street.
Notable architectural details include a platband below the ground floor, string courses, and sill bands on the upper floors, along with projecting bracketed eaves at the corner. The ground floor is treated as a piano nobile, featuring windows set in a stilted archivolt segmental arched arcade, linked by an impost string with panels below the sills. The upper floors have plain windows.
On the corner, the ground floor string course is fluted and extends over a lower rectangular fanlight of the doorway, which is enhanced by a leaf-carved string. Above this, a semi-circular fanlight is adorned with alternately vermiculated voussoirs and a sheep's head keystone with rinceaux horns. An oval window above is flanked by oval plaques, and a drip moulding with a scrolled keystone completes the design. The tripartite second-floor window features an arched centre light, with the eaves cornice curving up over it. This building is an important feature of the corner site.
