East Melbourne, Gipps Street 017, Gipps Street Cellars

Description: 

A double fronted shop with residence above. The shop front has been modernised with plate glass windows each side of the central door. There is a modern awning which may have replaced a cast iron verandah. Above there are three arched windows framed by pilasters at each end of the facade. The facade here is painted brick which is possibly polychrome underneath. The side walls are bluestone.

History: 

Mr. Webber, the first owner of the building, when he notified the council of his intention to build gave the description 'house', however it appears that the building was used as a shop with residence above from the beginning. It was known then as Webber Bros & Co.
