What is recorded here

The Premier House in Town Parks gives its two shopfronts carved little columns and mosaic thresholds. It’s a terrible entrance for anyone claiming they’re ‘only looking’: by the time you cross the mosaic, you feel you owe the floor a purchase.
End-of-terrace six-bay two-storey house, built c.1890, with shop to ground floor. Pitched tile roof with rendered chimneystacks. Rendered walls. Timber sash windows with stone sills. Moulded segmental-arched door opening with fluted pilasters, stained glass sidelights and fanlight, and replacement timber panelled door. Pair of shopfronts with recessed central doors flanked by fixed display windows with mosaics to thresholds. Timber colonnettes with carved capitals, to display windows. Two-bay three-storey extension to east.
The scale and form of this building makes it a notable and positive addition to the streetscape. This house retains a fine early twentieth century shopfront, which is a significant contributor to the streetscape. This shopfront retains many well executed features and materials, such as the slender colonnettes with carved capitals, fixed windows, glazed doors and threshold mosaics. The segmental-arched moulded door opening and timber sash windows contribute to the architectural heritage significance of the building.
