Layers of ghost signs revealed on Elizabeth Street, including 'Wolfe's Schnapps Removes that tired feeling' and Work-Man's Motors c. 1935

A wonderful pairing of intact historic buildings, #PublicBenefitBootery, Grainger Little Barlow & Hawkins, 1924 and #DevaHouse, 1926, #HarryNorris - but great changes planned that might keep only the front wall and a bit of side of the PBB, as part of plans to redevelop #TheWalkArcade superblock for a big hotel. It could instead be converted like #DevaHouse which is already a #boutiquehotel. The laneway side is you know, ordinary, but its original, it’s all #steelframedwindows, interesting setbacks near the top, pity to lose all that. Ps always loved this unique pair, which is a result of a subdivision of an original 1837 CBD block in the 19thC by sticking a lane down the middle, then building up to the #132ftheightlimit in the early 20thC, with distinctive Melbourne CBD #tallthinfrontages. When Norris did Deva House he must’ve decided to virtually match the earlier building, with the same horizontal divisions.

Restoration of the facades of Ball and Welch begins as part of the Flinders Gate redevelopment
