31 Fitzroy St<br />

ST. KILDA<br />

A small, finely crafted flat over shop building in the Georgian Revival style, notable for the symmetrical<br />

composition of the upper facade centred on a deep balcony framed by a crisply delineated Serlian motif. The<br />

balcony recess is given solidity and depth by the curved ceiling extending back from the central arch. The<br />

facade is constructed of variegated roman brick work, carefully detailed to form flat arches over the windows<br />

and chevron patterned panels below the sills. The building is largely intact though the rendered detail to the<br />

cornices, keystones and balustrading is painted an unsympathetic colour. The restrained design of the recent<br />

Di Stasio restaurant on the ground floor, undertaken by Architect, Allan Powell, contributes to the quality of the<br />

building.<br />
