16 Darlington Street
Thanks to Western Trading Store Ltd. for permission
to enter and photograph.
This shops and offices building, from the late Victorian
era, presents an impressively eclectic facade, with a great deal of
stone ornamentation. But the present point of interest is the
entrance hallway:
 |
 |
| It sports a mosaic floor and tiling up to dado height. This continues as far as the first floor but no further. |
|
|
The detail of the top of the wall above shows the dark brown
tile rail, two bands of narrow dark blue tiles, the moulded patterned
tile and the moulded mottled tiles which fill up the rest of the design
to skirting level.
The effect is sober rather than dramatic.

This detail is of the mosaic floor. |
