Description
536 Yates Street is a small two-storey brick commercial building on the north side of the street. It can be identified by its wooden storefront featuring decorative leaded and stained glass windows, and by quoining on the upper storey.
Valeur patrimoniale
536 Yates Street adds value to Victoria's Old Town District because it is the earliest surviving example of masonry architecture on Yates Street. At one time the only brick building in the vicinity, this small commercial building’s scale and architectural detailing are a monument to Victoria's earliest evolution from wooden fort to refined permanent city. Heritage value also lies in its compatibility with and contribution to the collection of buildings of a similar scale which characterize this part of Yates Street.
