16, Victoria Street

16 Victoria Street is a shop built around 1875, featuring brick and terracotta dressings, brick stacks, and a slate mansard roof. The building has a double-depth plan and is designed in the Italianate style, comprising two storeys and an attic with a one-window range. The 20th-century shop front is situated between pilasters with moulded kneelers, and it includes incised pilasters leading to scrolled kneelers, a frieze with thin brackets and panels, a deep cornice, and a parapet. A large two-light window in a semicircular arch is adorned with decorative fluted columns, Gibbsian voussoirs, and a tympanum featuring a lion head with the word "COURAGE" above it, along with an impost band of palmettes and two plain roundels above. The semicircular-arched dormer has panelled pilasters, three incised voussoirs, two lights, and a round light above. The interior has not been inspected. This building is part of a group of Victorian commercial structures that were developed after Victoria Street was cut in 1872.
