Redan Prince of Wales store (former)

The former Prince of Wales Store, situated at 2 Albert Street, Sebastopol to the extent of the 1860s fabric. The two-storey building is sited on a corner location and has a chamfered central bay highlighting the entrance and two main elevations, facing Albert and Rubicon streets, which are finished in a smooth render, while the secondary elevations are brick (overpainted). Below the parapet is a band of raised lettering, which stretches all the way around the two main elevations. It reads 'Redan Prince of Wales Store / Jermyn's / Prince of Wales Store.'
