153-157 Darling Street, 1850s
153 Darling Street, c. 1850, a severely plain and utilitarian building, was once Gourlay’s grocery shop.
The similarly plain 155 Darling Street (c.1858) sports a raised moulding dividing the upper and lower storeys, and 157 Darling Street (c.1858) is the most ambitious of the three, with arched windows, projecting voussoirs (wedge-shaped stones forming the arch) and hints of classical style in the mouldings around the door and lower window. A faded sign on the side wall testifies to its days as a bakery.
