    Very fancy, ornate metal work! What an awesome RED and handiwork display!

    Nice to see a corner store reopening but guess by the suburb that it is pretty up market. Good luck to them.

    I like the restoration, although how authentic is that colour combination, Jim? I hope when they are open that they junk up the frontage with barrows and trays. It is a bit forbidding in its tidiness!!

    Nice shot! The balcony reminds me of the French Quarter of New Orleans.

    Fantastic 19th century building and even lovelier iron work on the balcony. Plus the design made the absolute most of the tight corner location.
