I created this Isometric 3D artwork for the BKKUnzine theme of the Month: "Movies". This fan art is inspired by Spiderman Homecoming movie and because those times, it is wise to watch movies rather on your Home Cinema system than in a cinema showroom...Created with Cinema 4D, rendered with Redshift and used one of my fractal art in the neon frame done with J-wildfire. TV is screening one of my previous 3D fractal art using Cinema4D, Octane X & vectron and J-wildfire.

History
The northern part of this shop, residence and warehouse row, appears to be shown in an 1866 isometric of Melbourne as occupying a similar volume and close to what was the Royal George (later Limerick Castle) Hotel (now Y.M.C.A.). Bibb's c1856 plan shows a row of differently planned buildings on the site and carriage ways, like the present one. It is likely that the northern building of the current complex (stone) is the southernmost of the three, as shown in Bibb's plan, (the stone shops adjoining on the south, 469-71, also appear on this plan) and that these were divided from the hotel on the north by a carriage way on the site of 487 Elizabeth.
The grantee of CA9/2 was Charles Rochford, paying ₤710 in 1852. He mortgaged the land (most of this allotment is occupied by this complex) in 1853 (to Samuel Ramsden) for a significant 2000 pounds, indicating that the core of the complex arose in that year. One of Rochford's later borrowings appears to have meant the loss of the land to Michael Shanahan, by 1865, who eventually owned both allotments nine and ten. Rate descriptions of this period describe Shanahan's 14 room hotel adjacent to a row of three four-room (two-storey) brick shops. Adjoining on the south was Mr. Comte's coal yard, offices, etc., and three brick and stone shops (467-71).
The hardware firm, Currie & Richards, began leasing the land (then owned by John Hughes) in c1871-2. Builder, Walter Webster, applied to build `Addition to premises' on their behalf in 1874 at 305-7 Elizabeth Street, which may have been one of the rear store buildings. George Grant was the next owner (1890s) with Currie & Richards occupying a brick and iron store and Joh Walton, William Jones and George Williamson occupying the three brick shops which occupied the site between the store and the hotel to the north. The difference between this description and one in 1885, was the size of Currie & Richards' store; it was now 50 x 100 feet, which approximates the frontage of the present warehouse building south of the carriage way. This carriage way then operated as the access to the Royal George Livery Stable.
It is possible that 481 was refaced in conjunction with 473-5 in the period c1885-90, in a style vaguely similar to the architecture use in the 1875 Franklin Street, Currie & Richards' building. Similarly the same might be supposed for the 1874 Elizabeth Street addition, except for the lesser store frontage of 33 feet. It is also possible that the architectural treatment was commenced in 1874 and matched later. However, the rated value of the `brick shops' (481) rose by 50% in 1885-90. Why also would a similar image be sought for both sides of the carriage way when different firms occupied the buildings. This is presumably only explained by the common ownership (Grant).
Another more probable explanation is that it was done when Currie & Richards did occupy all of the site, which first occurred during c1899-10. This also explains the larger scale of the details and austerity of the façade, particularly the parapet. The carriageway continued to be used for the livery stables well into this Century, as did the Currie & Richards' occupation of both the street frontage and most of the rear stores.
Description
A two storey shop, residence and warehouse row with carriage-way at the 479 equivalent position in the façade. Shopfronts survive on 473-477 and in plan on 481 Elizabeth Street. The upper levels are rendered as smooth rusticated ashlar and divided in low relief bays and piers, the bays resting on panelled plinths with Queen Anne scrolls either side. The main cornice is dentillated but the parapet above has been stripped of detail or rebuilt. Colonial bonded brickwork is visible on the south wall of the carriage-way and rubble basalt on the north, with the new façade visible as a thin layer of brickwork. Basalt is also used in the pitched lane and yard also as bollards and rubbing strips. The wrought and cast iron carriage gates appear of recent construction and the rear brick warehouse structures from a variety of dates.
External Integrity
Shopfront sheeted over at 481, awnings added, parapet rebuilt and signs added.
Streetscape
Relates closely to the stone shop pair at 469-471.
Significance
An extensive complex built up over some 50 years, which nevertheless presents an homogenous 19th Century warehouse cum showroom character and contains elements and land-use patterns created in the 1850s by the original grantee. Given the total internal renovation of the Franklin Street building, this remains as the most faithful representation of the firm Currie & Richards' extensive hardware business, particularly the private internal courtyard which was once common for city factories and warehouses, but is now rare (see also Carlton Brewery).
