These shops are located on the corner of Darling Street and Belmore Street, in the inner west suburb of Rozelle. The building was built in 1897 and is one of the few remaining shopfronts with a veranda and awning above the footpath.
William, that's a newsagency which predominantly sells newspapers and magazines. Every suburb in Sydney has one or more of these, although they are starting to become endangered species in some places these days.
Nice building! Arianna
ReplyDeleteFrom at least one of the signs, it would seem to be that a newspaper or two has offices there as well.

DeleteThanks for the answer. I wondered, as there are a couple of newspapers here that have their offices out of relatively small buildings.
DeleteLove the look of this building with it wrap around porch which protects those on the sidewalk below. Like your photo.
ReplyDeleteI think of this architecture as very "Sydney". I remember lots of buildings like this when I was there.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful part of the architecture of years gone by. It looks to be a busy intersection.
ReplyDeleteJim This store is very like the building then have in Innisfail in queensland.
ReplyDeleteSo much history must have passed through that building. It looks quite nice and has a great railing around it.
