J.E Earl Ironmonger and Timber Merchant

J.E Earl Ironmonger and Timber Merchant was one of two hardware stores on Bay Street, the other being Faram Brothers Hardware. J.E. Earl was established in 1856 originally near the town pier at Beach and Nott Streets, but later moved to this location in the late 19th Century. Only the remnants of the façade remain, but you can see traces of the curved driveway entrance in the entrance to what is now the Bank of Melbourne.
