506, Christchurch Road

No 506 on Christchurch Road is a late 19th-century commercial building. It is constructed of stuccoed brick with ashlar dressings and features three storeys and three bays. The elaborate ashlar shop front includes a round-arched doorway on the left, which has a late 20th-century door, and a round-arched window on the right, flanking a wider central window that is square-headed with rounded top corners; both windows are fitted with late 20th-century plate glass. The bays are defined by panelled and fluted pilasters with decorative capitals, set on a tall plinth that has raised and fielded panels interrupted by lozenges below the windows. These pilasters support an entablature, although the frieze is covered by a fascia board from the 1980s. Above the cornice is a balustrade featuring a central panel with anthemion and floral decoration beneath a swan's-neck pediment, which has a fruit swag below and a ball on a cushion finial above.

On the upper floors, the bays are defined by giant pilasters that are broken by cornices paired on each floor. The pilasters flanking the central bay extend to break through the parapet, which is flanked by paired blind panels and supports a triangular pediment. The coped parapet on either side is designed as a broken swan's-neck pediment, with the outer pilasters topped with balls on cushion finials. The first and second floor windows are sashes, wider in the center, featuring small-pane upper sashes and single-pane lower sashes, all with ashlar architraves. The first-floor windows have floating triangular pediments. There is an end stack to the right. No 506 was originally built as part of a row of similar buildings, although the others have since been demolished or significantly altered.
