Description du lieu patrimonial
Hanna's Undertaking Parlour is a two storey Edwardian Style commercial building located on the north side of Yates Street. It has two large arched windows flanking a pair of tall narrow central windows in its upper storey, and a strong classical cornice.
Valeur patrimoniale
Hanna's Undertaking Parlour is valued as a good example of the type of building erected as Yates Street developed into a commercial area containing a variety of small specialty shops and retail businesses in the early twentieth century. Designed by architects Hooper and Watkins, and built for W.J. Hanna in 1905, this building adds interest to the heritage character of this block of Yates Street because of its integrity of form, clearly identifying it as an early twentieth century commercial building. Its unusual upper storey arrangement of windows provides a notable illustration of the diversity of architectural expression which occurred during the redevelopment of Victoria in the prosperous Edwardian era.
