* South western corner. The Art Deco building on this corner is an addition to a 19th century commercial structure. The cement render says est. 1848. Notice the fan shells along the parapet roof line apex and on the corners or ends. These are called acroterions from the ancient Greek word for corner or apexes. The building has the steel framed rectangular windows with pretty Art Deco clear glass designs in the street level windows. Note the thin horizontal lines in the upper story cement render contrasting with the vertical grooved pilasters. If painted in sympathetic Art Deco pastel colours this building could look really dramatic and beautiful.
