Description
No. 8 Victoria Street is a shop built around 1875, featuring red brick with yellow brick and limestone dressings, topped by a slate roof. The building has a double-depth plan and stands four storeys tall with a three-window range, designed in the Venetian Gothic style. The 20th-century shop front is situated between pilasters that have palmette capitals. The first and second floors showcase an arcade of pointed arches with patterned voussoirs, along with pilasters that have moulded bases and foliate capitals. The first-floor windows are designed with shoulder arches and a moulded lintel, set beneath a patterned yellow brick panel. The second-floor windows are arched casements. Below the third-floor arcade, there is an angled brick string featuring six shoulder arches with waterleaf capitals on colonnettes, flanked by pilasters, leading up to a worn ashlar parapet. The interior has not been inspected. This building is part of a group of Victorian commercial structures that were developed following the cutting of Victoria Street in 1872.
