Description du lieu patrimonial
This historic place is a small, two storey brick commercial building located on the south side of Yates Street. It is articulated by two decorative cornice panels, and an arched central upper storey window.
Valeur patrimoniale
727-729 Yates Street is valued as a good example of the type of modest commercial building erected in the late nineteenth century as the city grew steadily eastward, away from the waterfront. Designed by architect John Teague and built in 1897 for local developer Dr. F. W. Hall, this small yet decorative 1897 building is one of the oldest surviving structures on this block of Yates Street. It is important to Victoria's commercial downtown because it exemplifies the heritage character of the City before the turn of the twentieth century, making it a significant contributor to the integrity of the historic streetscape in this area.
