The former Halleys Bakery on the corner of Darling St East and West St, Ipswich AUS was built in 1916 after operating on the site from the late 1800s. The old brick bakery has been occupied by a variety of hospitality businesses since it’s closure as a bakery in 1964. I did the drawing in the dying days of the café Coffee Anda. The building reopened in late 2018 as Bakehouse Steakhouse.
DARLING AND WEST is complementary to HUNDRED AND ONE. Both buildings sit either side of the apartment building in the background. I've used the same colour skies in each drawing. They will make a nice duo on a wall.
The drawing itself is a play on technical drawing where the building views are sometimes drawn flat and sometimes in perspective. I also combined the flat elevations from different streets into a single edifice indicated by the join and fold notations. The main gable facing Darling St East has been bisected and joined to the West St façade. Darling St East has a cranked street boundary indicated by the fold line on the drawing. The Coffee Anda signs are greyscale photos of the actual cafe signs.
