Physical Description
Part of a row of single storey shops with rendered decorative parapet concealing roofline. Cantilevered bull-nose awning with iron brackets. Re-entrant doors to shops. Tiles to 3/4 height of facade.
History
The listings in the Post Office directory for 1900 indicate the west side of William Street, between Aberdeen and Newcastle Streets, was all residential.
