General notes:

Style: Victorian ClassicPeriod: VictorianConstruction date: 1884Notable features: This row of eight retail shops was designed by William Salway and built by Kinnaird and McMullen in 1884. It is divided into two groups of four units on each side of a pediment arch to the lane leading to the Dairy Product Market Hall. Each shop features a full width shop front below an upper storey consisting of a pair of windows installed in two recessed arched bays. The row is connected by a string course which arches over the windows to form implied pilasters. A plain cornice and parapet with dividing walls in the forms of pilasters terminates the design.The rear is unusually intact. A post office occupies the corner allotment.Designed by the architect responsible for the adjacent Meat Market facade, the group remains substantially intact and gains significance for; the intact rear; it's elegant frontage on Elizabeth Street; and as part of the Queen Victorian Market group.
