Heritage VICTORIAN HERITAGE REGISTER VICTORIA ^ HERITAGE REGISTER NUMBER: 23 NAME: Royal Arcade STATEMENT OF CULTURAL HERITAGE SIGNIFICANCE: What is significant? The Royal Arcade, which extends from Bourke Street through to Little Collins Street, was erected in 1869 for Messrs. Staughton and Spensley. Charles Webb was the architect and gained the commission through a design competition. It consisted of 29 shops of various trades. At the extreme end of.the Arcade facing Little Collins Street there were two or three shops of larger dimensions. In this portion of the building at shop 27 there were contained the Turkish Baths. In 1902 an Annexe was built to Elizabeth Street to the designs of architects Hyndman and Bates and an arched verandah was added to the Bourke Street facade. Due to dilapidation caused by rats' tunnels, the original Castlemaine flag floor was replaced in 1934 by black and white concrete squares which, were later replaced by similarly coloured terrazzo tiles. In 1892 the figures of Gog and Magog were installed at the southern end of the main walkway. These were sculpted by Mortimer Godfrey and modelled on effigies in the Guildhall, London, which were built in 1708 to replace those lost in the Great Fire of 1666. They were thought to represent survivors of a race of giants destroyed by Brutus the Trojan, the legendary founder of London. Gaunts clock was also installed at about this time. In 1890 at least two of the original shopfronts to the Arcade were replaced with new bay windows, splayed entrances and mirrored pilasters between each shop entrance. The remainder were replaced in 1894 under the guidance of architect Nahum Barnett. A cantilevered verandah has been added to the Little Collins Street facade, probably in the 1950s. In 1980 restoration works were undertaken which included the restoration of the Bourke Street facade, the reconstruction of the verandah and the internal gaslight fittings to the original designs. The Royal Arcade property is owned by Royal Arcade Pty Ltd, a company with 32 separate shareholders each holding a head lease over their respective shops which are variously owner-occupied or tenanted. How is it significant? The Royal Arcade is of social, historical, aesthetic and architectural significance to the State of Victoria. Why is it significant? i The Royal Arcade is of historical significance as one of the earliest arcades constructed in this country and Australia's oldest extant shopping arcade. Royal Arcade is ope of approximately 18 surviving pre-1870 arcades worldwide. The Arcade's automata, Gog and Magog, and Fajher Time are icons in the psyche of Melbourne. They are well known to visitors, sought out by tourists and arp unique in Australia. The ownership of the Arcade by the Staughton and Spensley families for 103 years.from 1855 to 1958 is of considerable significance and has left an enduring mark upon the building. Socially the Arcade is significant as containing the premises of John Nicholas Caire and Thomas Chuck, notable Melbourne nineteenth century photographers, Catanch's the jewellers, the Doll Hospital, the Turkish Baths and Gaunt's watchmaking workshop and shop, all of whom are Melbourne 'institutions'. The Royal Arcade is of architectural significance as one of the few commercial works of notable Melbourne architect Charles Webb. Designed in the Italianate style, it compares well with many nineteenth century European examples and is certainly outstanding within the Australian context. It draws on early and influential French and English models and as such is outstanding in its ability to demonstrate the essential and typical qualities of those designs and the continuity of the tradition of covered shopping streets. This is the oldest surviving arcade in Melbourne and despite its many alterations still maintains its elegant and unique appearance. It is a landmark of the central shopping area.

Superposition of Ionic order columns over a base Tuscan order is the trabeation applied to the arched fenestration which exists at all levels.

Note: Soma records may not yet have a Statement of Significance. ^Statement of Significance j What is significant? I The first General Post Office was built on the corner of Elizabeth and Bourke Streets in 1852, and was replaced by the current much grander building begun in 1859. A competition was held in two parts, for what was described as the 'architectural design' and the 'interr al management'. The architects Crouch & Wilson won the first part of the competition but a scandal was ca! jsed when the government adopted the second- placed design of A E Johnson. The Chief Architect of the Public Works Department, William Wardell, is also known to have influenced the final design. The initial two storey building was completed by 1867. As a result of severe overcrowding a new design by Johnson dded a third storey and tower by 1887, with the work supervised by Peter Kerr of the Public Works Department. The new Mansard roofs gave the building a touch of the French Second Empire style. In 1906-7 additions were made to the Elizabeth Street facade consisting of two storeys and a basement constructed by Swanson Bros. The original intention to extend as far north as Little Bourke Street has never been realised, In 1919 the original sorting hall was converted to public space following designs by two architects, Walter Burley Griffin and J S Murdoch. The General Post Office was the venue for Postal and Telegraphic conferences in 1892 and 1897, in the lead up to Federation, at which the colonial postal authorities discussed rationalising international postal routes to Australia. How is it significant? j The General Post Office is of historical, architectural and tsoeial significance to the State of Victoria. j Why is it significant? j The General Post Office is historically significant as one pf the most important public buildings in Victoria. It represents the vital role played by postal communication^ in the early development of the colony by maintaining links with the Britain and Europe, and forming the focus of a network of postal services throughout the dispersed population of Victoria. It also reflects the continuing importance of postal services http://www.../2dcd92fa956dec3a4a256b29OOOc5225?0penDocument&ExpandSection=l,2, 5/02/02 Document Listing - GENERAL POST OFFICE Page 2 of 2 in the state since 1841. The building is closely associated with the growth of Melbourne and Victoria as a colony and a State. The phases of development and expansion reflect the changing fortunes of the State. I The General Post Office is architecturally significant for its vast scale, unprecedented even in Britain. This is enhanced by the architectural grandeur and location ofjthe building at the heart of Melbourne's business district. The unified system of the trabeated architectural orders of Doric, Ionic and Corinthian columns and pilasters placed over an arcuated structure belies the buildings construction in several stages over a period of many years. The building's development is associated pith several well known and individually recognised architects including Crouch and Wilson, Arthur Ebsen Johnson, William Warded, Walter Burley Griffin and John Smith Murdoch. Despite its incomplete state, the building retains a strong sense of unity and few buildings of the period retain internal spaces of sjjch scale and grandeur in Victoria. The successful redesign of the ground floor, converting it from the original mail room to public space was one of American architect Walter Burley Griffin's first Australian projects after his successful entry in the Canberra design competition. i The General Post Office is socially significant as a familiar public landmark. The approach stairs and clock tower are city landmarks and have provided the focus in Bourke Street for public meetings, demonstrations, Armistice Day celebrations and New Year's Eve revelries. The building is the point from which distances from Melbourne to other Victorian centres are measured. i i Click on the arrow below to view the Images.

It was designed by arch-contemporary Gothicist, Charles D'Ebro (Wool Exchange, ColLins Street) and owned by the City Proprietary Company, Ltd. The builder was H.W. McMullen and the permit description (1890) 'shop and three warehouses.' The 'shop' was kept by Alex Morrison, saddler, for many years to come, but was eventually shared in the late 1890s by the Everard Brothers (420), tea merchants, Little & Co. tailors and Robert Suffern, wine agent (420). Tenancies had blossomed in the next decade under the official title of Gothic Chambers (418A). Alfred Seidel, litho printers and the workshops of J.A. Newton & Co. Pty. Ltd. accompanied Morrison's saddlery. By 1920, L.W. Garrington and Greaves & Jefferies, manufacturers, had replaced the previous tenants on the second floor. Twenty years on, Murphy Luke & Co. solicitors, forged an unusual alliance with the ever-present saddler on the ground floor. Description Venetian Gothic, like the Metropolitan Tramways Building, the Olderfleet (1891), the Rialto (1890), the Stock Exchange (1891) and (to a lesser extent) the Wool Exchange (1891), it was one of the small number of large commercial designs to go Gothic, instead of following the prevailing Italian Renaissance derivatives favoured for serious businesses. Terry & Oakden's Gothic banks had been an exception in the mid to late Victorian period but the emerging Medieval preoccupation in the 1890s was cut off abruptly by the financial crash of 1893, An exposed gabled roof (instead of hipped), a gabled parapet (instead of corniced parapet), face brickwork (instead of stucco) and pointed arches (instead of rectangular window openings) were the main contrasting elements in the design. Eclectic detail followed, with the parapet corbel table and arcade, the label moulds over windows and the Romanesque inspired frieze within the iron balustrade and on post moulding, all supporting the image shift away from the classical. It was, however, apparently done on a budget and compares more with the nearby Tramways Building (1890) than the richly detailed Olderfleet. External Integrity Shopfronts and canopy new, details altered. Streetsoape In a mixed commercial streetscape with fenestration and eclectic detail as the visual link. Significance 1 A competent if restrained design in a minority commercial style, which retains some notable detailing and finishes. :MELBOURNE CITY COUNCIL GRAEME BUTLER, CENTRAL ACTIVITIES DISTRICT-CONS^STUDY Architect, BUILDING'IDENTIFICATION FORM • - " Arch.

While both these designs are specifically Gothic in style, their appearance is a demonstration of the two vastly contrasting Gothic revival developments in Melbourne during the 1880s and 1890s. The Gothic Bank was the first building to be constructed and is an example of the first Gothic style. It was designed by William Wardell, to fairly detailed specifications laid out by the General Manager, Sir George Verdon. The style is restrained externally, and internally graceful and cjrnate. It is secular Gothic, although Wardell had previously made a name for himself through church architecture. Goss & Mason were the contractors and Alexander Todd was appointed as Clerk of Works. The works began in 1883 and the building was opened in May 1887, a year late. The final cost was over £77,000) almost twice the budget. The entire ground floor was established as the banking chamber, and the first and second floors as a residence for the General Manager. Sir George Verdon moved into the residence inj 1888 and remained there until his retirement. In 1934 the Lyceum Club leased these rooms and used them until 1957. The former Stock Exchange was designed by the Melbourne architect. William Pitt and was constructed in 1887. The style has been labelled Free Gothic and is far Ipss restrained than the earlier building. The facade is extremely ornate and each level has been designed differently. Pitt was one of the best known executors of this new Gothic style in Melbourne, who at the time received criticism from more conservative designers. The total cost of the building, including the land, was £254,000. Overall the land purchase and building construction were a poor investment and in 19211 the Stock Exchange, due to financial difficulties, was forced to sell its property back to the ES&A Bank for pnly £136,500. The main trading floor for the Stock Exchange was on the ground level in a large vaulted chamber, known as the Cathedral Room. This room was designed with the reverence and grace of a chiiirch, an impression emphasised by the vaulted roof and the stained glass windows. In 1923 the bank renovated the site to combine the two buildings, thus enlarging the Banking Chamber, leasing the offices and running the Safe Deposit. i How is it significant? ! The ANZ Bank at 376 - 392 Collins Street Melbourne is of architectural, historical and social significance to the State of Victoria. . f Why is it significant? j The ANZ Bank is architecturally significant as the first ES&A Bank to be designed in the Gothic style that was to become a trademark for the banking corporation. If is also significant for the scale and ornate grandeur of both the interior and exterior, resulting in it being considered one of the finest buildings in Melbourne at the time of its construction. The Gothic Bank and former Stock Exchange are of architectural significance through their association with the prominent Melbourne architects William Wardell and William Pitt. The Verdon chambers within the Gothic Bank are architecturally significant for their extensive size and grandeur. The 1921 alterations to the bank are significant! as they represent an interesting solution at the time in inner city expansion; that being renovation and interior redesign rather than rebuilding. The Cathedral Room within the Former Stock Exchange is architecturally significant as a largely original, and very ornate, example of a public business arena. . The ANZ Bank is historically significant as the banking headquarters of the ES&A Bank, positioned on a corner site within the centre of the banking precinct in Melbourne, which was the most important business centre at the time in Australia. This building is also significant for what it illustrates of the banking boom during the 1880s and the subsequent depression of the 1890s. The former stock exchange was built far beyond its means and was never able to recoup the financial outlay of the enormously expensive building. The former residence of the General Manager of the ES&A Bank, on the first and second floors of the Gothic Bank, is significant as the only intact example of ah inner city banking residence from the 1880s in Melbourne.

Prince (investor) as the sole tenant, it underwent a major change in 1960 when an estimated 7840 pounds was spent by the bank to modify the facade and its window openings to the present form. The next major alteration was in 1982 when the present ground level was developed and occupied by Ted's photographic store. By then the bank had departed, the building having been occupied by a finance company during the 1970s. Description An austere three storey cement rendered parapeted facade, apparently the result of a 1960 renovation and later work, comprising the introduction of a new aluminium shopfront suite. No indication exists of any earlier building from the front street view. External Integrity Numerous signs added.

C. Askew's design (see 261 Elizabeth Street). The change was a subtle one and fragmented. 245 (now defaced) & 249 and 257-9 Elizabeth Street were owned by a Mrs. C. Wilson (later David Wilson) in the early 1890s, each possessing a shop and four or five rooms. 249 came under an agent (Agnew) and 245 went to the Bank of New South Wales, both being extended in 1896 to encompass nine rooms each. 257-9 also left the Wilson family's ownership, being rebuilt during 1896-7 for the Equity Trust Ltd. who now also owned the intervening shops of 253-5 Elizabeth Street (previously owned by Mrs. Burney). The latter pair was renovated or rebuilt in 1895-6. Despite the apparent multiplicity of owners, it is possible that some common thread existed (most are agents or trustees) and that 261 (also once owned by the Wilson's) shared their designer. Description A three-storey, much altered, and originally two-storey shops and offices row, in the English Queen Anne or Elizabethan revival manner, the upper level composition is commenced by the impressive 261 Elizabeth Street, with its high Elizabethan gable, bayed cornice line and extended cement parapet piers and orbs. The elevation continues to the south in a more conservative form but, nevertheless, highly ornamented. The main parapet has a guilloche balustrade, between raised piers, and below that the main cornice entablature is comprised of a vermiculated panel. The second storey floor line possesses a broad foliated frieze, which alternates with a Medieval shield or Heraldic motif - both options deriving from English Medieval ornament and surrounded by foliated designs. What commences as tall-arched fenestration elements at 261, extends to the south in a more simple form with shallow segment-arched windows on both the second and third levels. Piers, both full length and truncated at the second storey line, divide each window group, following a prescribed pattern which falters only at 249-251 where the typical two-bay composition becomes three-bays. Just visible over the parapet are the heavy Victorian pattern cement chimney cornices, contrasting with the cushion cornice form of 261 Elizabeth Street. External Integrity Bricks have been painted on all but 257, obtrusive signs have been added to 261, 255, 253 and 249-251 at the upper levels and all ground levels have been replaced in a generally unsympathetic form. A cantilevered canopy has been added cl920 and the first level windows replaced completely on Number 255. Parapet orbs are missing on all but 259. Number 245 appears to have once been part of the row but has now been completely defaced.

Page No. 65 21/12/87 Central Activities District Conservation Study Citation ** Elizabeth Street 261 261 Elizabeth History Street ' In the old retail area of Melbourne (prior to Princes bridge), this strip has housed brick shops with residences ever since Melbourne began. This site (then 175 Elizabeth Street) held W. J. Pierce, hairdresser, in the late 1880s. As 261 Elizabeth, it housed Ernest Rohl, tobacconist, in the 1890s, evidently as part of a two-storey shop row which encompassed 249-59 Elizabeth Street (q.v.). In September, 1898, an application to build was made by Waring & Rowden; their client and the building's designer being D. C. Askew, a prominent Melbourne architect. The new tenant was Henry Bates, bootmaker; changing to Joshua langby (pawnbroker) in the 1920s and Harry Vial & Co., leather merchants, from the 1940s into the 1960s. The remaining shops in the row appear to have been renovated and extended one floor soon afterwards. Askew, formerly of Twentyman & Askew, was a prolific and bold designer of commercial buildings, in. particular Stalbridge Chambers, Little Collins Street; The Block, Collins Street and Elizabeth Street; and the Metropolitan Tramways Company Building, Bourke Street. He died 1906. Description The picturesque Elizabethan gable, with its serpentine cement ornament, is typical of the period and of some of Askew's past designs (the demolished Connell warehouse, 578-584 Bourke Street, 1903). The tall-arched window openings provide similarities with many of the contemporary commercial designs in Elizabeth Street, mostly carried out by Nahum Barnet, and the Tudor casement sashes complete the architectural allusions to the fusion.of Classical and English Medieval period architecture (refer 19-21, 23-29, 31-33 Bourke Street). External Integrity New verandah and shopfronts, new obtrusive upper level signs. The shopfront plan (recessed ' entry) is sympathetic to the period. Streetscape Related in scale, original use and period detail to the shop now to the south (249-59) as typical of the shops and residences which have prevailed here since Melbourne's beginnings. Arched openings, parapeted form, finish and scale are also ,in common with the corner buildings to the north. Significance Picturesque in appearance, part of a streetscape and possessing some notable parapet details, the shop has been altered at ground -level and is typical of the period. It is of interest as an architect's own speculation (cf. William Pitt and Christopher Cowper).

W. Purnell. The builder was W. H. Murphy. Before Michael, in the 1880s, the corner had been shared by a pork butcher and another pawnbroker,(Joshua langley). Langtey called his premises a 'pawn office,' staying there until the early 1900s, before he moved into the adjacent 261 Elizabeth Street (q.v.). Michael's pawnshop and a confectioner (Denis Black, 1920s) was the usual tenant combination. Emphasis changed, perhaps with a new generation, in the 1940s. H. I. Michael presided over a chemist and tobacconist shop, at a half-way point to today's purely photographic enterprise. Confectionery also had become more precisely 'dairy produce' in the hands of P. J. Evans. Another generation saw H. I. Michael & Son now dealing as a chemist and the adjoining premises now a restaurant operated by Hermitage Wines; wine shops having been in the vicinity (further south in Elizabeth Street) since the 1880s. Today, Michael's is still run by the family (Tony, Alan Michael). Description A three-storey corner reinforced concrete stuccoed building, which possesses an oriel bay to the corner and multiple window bays to the adjoining facades, creating an overall three dimensional effect from what is typically a two-dimensional requirement. The corner bay has a round cupola-like tower extension, which is joined to adjacent bays by a simple main cornice ornamented with stylized brackets either side of each bay." Otherwise the facade is plain, being augmented only by panelling within each facet. The canopy appears to be generally original, with exposed bracket supporting members and embossed metal soffits. Built of reinforced concrete (1915-16), the design illustrates this fact by its finish, the cantilevering window bays and large, seemingly unsupported glazed areas. In contrast to the almost contemporary Barnet corner designs which always used oriel windows, this elevation is austere and functional. Purnell has designed within Barnet's picturesque French Romanesque revival idiom, but has stripped it to an almost skeletal form, devoid of the applied ornamentation and brick veneers which had been required for external wall fire rating in earlier times. Arthur Purnell had practised in China during the Boxer rebellion (1900) and absorbed a little of the eastern architectural manner, as demonstrated by his own house in Punt Road, South Yarra, and possibly the unusual approach (given contemporary architecture) seen in this building. The pronounced glazing mullions and simple panelling of the dement surfaces is an indication of this. External Integrity ' The ground level has been completely replaced, although perhaps pier lines have been retained, the piers have been refaced. The canopy fascia has been reclad and the supporting beams boxed in. Numerous signs have been added to the lower level and the upper. Streetscape Successfully designed for its corner site and related in part to the earlier mainly face brick elevations which extend to the south. It relates in detail to 263 Elizabeth and in scale and finish to Central Activities District Conservation Study Citation 249-59. Significance An unusual commercial design for the period given its early use of rendered reinforced concrete as a 'wall cladding, and the stylistic idiosynchrasies of its designer. It has been owned and occupied by one family since construction, its use changing subtly with each generation from pawnshop to photographic warehouse.
