General notes:
Grading as at 1985 - Shop - C, Residence - DPeriod : Mid Victorian (1889)Grantee : R Hampson 1865This shop and residence was built for John Clarke in 1889, who lived there until after 1890, when it was leased to James Woods, a grocer of Russell Street under the ownership of Ann Clarke.It is a one-level stuccoed brick, parapetted shop and residence with timber mullioned shop fronts to Adderley and Roden Streets and part of the original concave roof street verandah which is supported on iron posts and of the Melbourne Corporation design. Stucco detailing is sparse for the construction date being a cornice to the parapet. The shop being built on the frontage, terminates the streetscape of row houses to the south. The post supported shop verandah is a notable feature.Architecturally, its value is that of a corner-shop-form which is typical of row house suburbs and the verandah lends period variety to the streetscape and thus is of local significance only. It is also representative of the many modest commissions undertaken by W.H. Webb in the area.
