Fairley's Building, Dapto

Dapto has an interesting place in Australian culture. You see, there is a greyhound track at Dapto and it is the lament of the desperate mug punter that he needs a result in the last at Dapto Dogs to recover a day's worth of losses. Unfortunately, I didn't see the track but I was pleased to find this nice deco building formerly occupied by J G Fairley Pty Ltd. And what a great address 1-11 Bong Bong Road.

As you can see, it is a handsome symmetrical horizontal brick building with large display windows facing onto the street. The roofline bears a stepped element above the doorway and the Fairley name is proudly displayed along the façade. A row of smaller windows also feature a lovely deco design and a another deco pattern in the pressed tin on the underside of the verandah.
