I always enjoy the humble art deco buildings, usually on the outer fringes of towns and cities such as this commercial building in Launceston. There is a roller shutter on the main windows and these are drawn or closed depending on the sun at different times of the day and year. The left side of the building has its original period entrance. I love the symmetry of the building. I reckon that it may have been originally designed to house 2 shops as there are identical doors on either side of the main facade. The symmetry continues with the windows and the classic stepped art deco detailing. A classic art deco building.
