Mosman, shops

These shops are located along Military Road, in the lower north shore suburb of Mosman. It has been declared a conservation area for this early twentieth century shopping strip. The shop and residence on the corner with the turret is an example of the Federation Queen Anne architectural style.

    What a lovely neighborhood. It's good that such places are preserved. So often they are allowed to decay, then are torn down.

    «Louis» likes to see historic areas such as this preserved. As Lois wrote, too often they are allowed to decay and then be torn down...

    I love the turret - that would make a wonderful apartment up on second floor over the corner store!

    The way the photograph is taken is in the best angle...the yellow sign really stands out which is perfect for this Yellow Monday meme.

    I love this building. I love visiting areas that have been preserved. Old buildings are so much more interesting to me than the new ones, although some of them are quite impressive. Have a lovely week.
