History

This four-storey sandstone “brick” structure sited on the corner of Grattan Road and Vincent Street was built for James Hill in 1903 to the design of Rhodes Calvert, who employed a palazzo style with a polychrome effect due to the use of sandstone and grey and green granites.

The ground and basement floors are rusticated and a line of arched keystone windows are situated in the half storey between the first and second floors. However, without doubt its most impressive feature is the corner entrance, which displays a segmental pediment and a tympanum featuring a carved relief of a Merino sheep. A balustraded parapet surmounts the splayed corner of the structure.
