Description
1 to 9 John William Street is a three-storey retail and office building constructed in 1852 by William Wallen. It was later occupied by Rushworth’s, the town’s leading department store, and is now used for commercial and hospitality purposes. The building features a sandstone ashlar frontage and a slate roof, occupying a prominent corner location with elevations on both John William Street and Westgate.
The exterior has a rounded corner and is characterized by horizontally rusticated quoin strips. The John William Street elevation consists of six bays, with modern shopfronts on the ground floor. The first-floor windows are one-over-one sashes with aprons, moulded and shouldered surrounds, and full entablatures. The second-floor windows also feature one-over-one sashes, with moulded surrounds and cornices, and plain aprons resting on the entablatures below. Above these is a deeply projecting modillion eaves cornice and a plain parapet. The corner bay has a single bay of windows arranged in a tripartite style, similar to those on the John William Street elevation.
The Westgate elevation mirrors the style of the John William Street elevation, but the two left bays are spaced more generously, and the second and third bays are separated by a horizontal rusticated pilaster.
