Description
Detached gable-fronted double-height former garage, built c.1940, with corrugated-iron extension to rear. Now disused. Fronts directly onto street. Hipped corrugated-iron roof, hidden behind curvilinear and stepped parapet with parapet and coping. Roughcast rendered walls. Segmental-headed window opening to first floor of entrance gable with timber casement window. Square-headed door opening with double timber battened doors.
Appraisal
The striking parapet of this former garage, with its segmental-headed central window, marks this structure as an interesting architectural feature within the Clara streetscape. This design feature is typical of buildings of this type from the mid twentieth century. Though now disused, much of the original character of this functional building has survived.
