Description
The Manly Zone substation is a fine and robust, well detailed face brick two storey building built on the street alignment. Stylistic elements of Inter-war Art Deco include the extensive use of face brick and brick detailing in the stepped parapet and base of the projecting first floor oriel windows and the use of bold linear motifs. Decorative elements include the use of curved bricks to form unusual framing around windows and doorways. The building incorporates a residential unit titled #15101 RESIDENTIAL UNIT, 34a Whistler Street. The Manly Zone substation is constructed in load-bearing face brick with cement render applied to the plant doorway reveals. Original windows are double hung timber multi pane. Exterior materials used include face brick, timber joinery, and steel roller shutter.[1]
